Hi. I had similar experience and time frame and wonder if you can at least get your first consult with rad onc sooner. I had the first meeting with the rad onc md in January even though I wasn’t starting chemo for a couple of weeks and would not start rad treatments until June. It was great to get to meet him in advance and find out the plan I finished chemo may 11 and was told they wanted to wait a couple of weeks before starting rad treatments to give my body a chance to recover. I saw rad Onc June 6 had the simulation needed to plan the rad treatments June 12 and started first treatment June 21. The treatments could not have been easier even though they were five days a week for five weeks. So for what it is worth I had a similar frame. Take care

Thank you! This information is helpful. I'm glad your team was proactive in setting this up. I feel like between scheduling and insurance pre-certs, if I don't push things just drag and drag.
