How long after mastectomy is chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy typically begins about 3 to 6 weeks after a mastectomy, depending on individual circumstances and recovery. This timeframe allows the surgical site to heal and the patient to regain strength before starting treatment. The exact timing can vary based on factors such as the type of cancer, overall health, and the specific treatment plan recommended by the oncologist. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
