For my husband it was to be 6 to 10 weeks after last chemo radiation. Everyone that previously mentioned is correct in the different timings and why. We ran into a snag when he did the stress echocardiogram and found that he might have some heart blockages. This might postpone the surgery but we don’t know how long. Today we’re going for a regular echocardiogram and Wednesday an angiogram to see if we can clear the blockages without using heparin in the body, but just use the heparinized stents. We will find out after Wednesday if we can proceed with the surgery this August 24.
Sounds like you are right on track so far. Keep going! My prayers are for all on this website.
