My Mum has had a lumpectomy for primary breast cancer. Radiotherapy was due to start about 6 wks post her surgery, however, after she went for the measuring and inking she developed an MRSA infection and they had to treat this before she could start her course of RT. This took rather a long time as the first antibiotics didn't work so they had to change them. We are now at 9wks post surgery and the infection seems to have gone and she was due to start RT on Monday. We received a text message today(!) saying that the team had met and it was decided she no longer suitable for RT anymore as the amount of time that had elapsed meant that there would be less benefit for her. She was all ready to go, measured and tattoed and now she's had the rug pulled from under her. What I wondered was if anyone else has had this happen to them? Apart from the time passing, medically, nothing else has changed. She's accepted that this is what has been decided but I can't help but think they just condemed her. Any advice or experiences of this would be greatly welcomed. Thanks.
