My radiation treatments ran over Christmas/New Year's, I think. I do remember them being suspended for a day or two. Also, the area was hit by a huge snowstorm at one point, and I missed an appointment or two then. I actually could have walked to the hospital, but the staff couldn't get there.
I did get a second bout of cancer but it's likely that the only relationship between the cases is that Tamoxifen (which I started after the radiation was finished) is implicated in endometrial cancer. And the endometrial cancer was stage 0, and they didn't need to do any followup therapy after the hysterectomy.
Cancer is scary for anyone. My daughter was 15 when I had my first diagnosis, and I remember her worrying.
