I personally would not introduce anything in my body unless I really needed it.

I've found it takes me 2-3 months to start feeling better again after radiation is complete. I've had it 6 times now and during the longer 3-4 week radiation cycles I tend to feel my worst during the 2-3 weeks after radiation is finished and I try not to do much of anything during that time frame beyond relax, nap, and recover.

As a cancer patient I would never want Botox in my system. I'll keep the forehead wrinkles, thank you very much. Back in the day when I worked in medical malpractice insurance, the company I worked for, which was founded and run by doctors not your typical insurance executives, would not insure anybody to perform Botox procedures. They would insure the doctor for anything else in their practice, but Botox was not covered. That's always spoken volumes for me as far as the safety of Botox goes. It's just not worth it, but to each their own.

@A MyBCTeam Member thank you. I’m going to reschedule my apt, that’s a good idea.

Are you comfortable sharing what the Botox was for?

I would wait a bit after radiation as one is in a recuperation mode, even if you an ok.
Some need a month or more to feel better after radiation.
