Looking back, yes it was awful. But it is something that right now should be relatively easy. Its worth a few bad weeks to have a lifetime.
Radiation accumulates in your body. It will unfortunately get progressively worse. At this point, since you are still able to eat, enjoy it. Most of us started feeling the effects after about the 4 or 5 week mark.
Im sorry that you feel so bad already. Time to get that positive thinking going!!!! Believe it or not, thats what keeps me going. Take it day by day.
I will keep saying my prayers for you.
