This is a very stressful period (like it isn't always!!) of our Tx as our doctor "lifeline" has been cut since our daily rad is completed and it also can be the worst physical period so don't ever think you are bothering anyone here. Heck that's our main purpose, to ease the Tx and recovery process on all of us.
Just keep in mind that every new day brings you one day closer to the end of this dark tunnel. Look how far you have come from I think I can to I know I can and now to almost I F*%$@!*^ just did it!!
