Deciding to postpone chemo is not a correct decision.. what would be better is to discuss this personal commitment to your medical oncologist and schedule the chemo such that the patient attends the function without side effects. Not all chemo related side effects are going to be persistent on all days. So can start chemotherapy after discussion with medical oncologist
