How many weeks does radiotherapy go on for?

Hello 1 · 2018-06-04 17:53:55

A close family member has stage 2 breast cancer. They have completed 8 rounds of chemo of AC and Taxol. They are due to start radiotherapy at the end of this month. For anyone with experience, how many weeks approx. should the radiotheraphy take in total?

It is normally decided on a case by case bases and which Doctor you are under. My Mom had 33 rounds in total. 1 round each day Monday to Friday.
