When Would Chemotherapy Start After Portacath Insertion On Feb 11 And Partial Mastectomy On 14 Jan?

I had a partial mastectomy with auxiliary clearance on 14 Jan then a large haematoma removed from site as well as a portacath inserted on 11 Feb. How soon would I start my chemotherapy as my family need to make travel arrangements and I only see oncologist next week.

IF CHEMOTHERAPY IS AN INDICATION IT CAN BE STARTED ANY MOMENT.
POST SURGERY WAITING PERIOD OF ONE MONTH IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT.
