No need to be sorry...it is awful to feel awful! Hopefully, you will not feel sick when you are doing just the rt. Have you asked the MO if they can give you anti-nausea meds with your chemo? (I had something put right into the IV that was for anti-nausea, and it worked great.)

(Are you wearing your obturator during radiation? They had me take mine out...)

Hang in there, Jayne. You've gotten through your first few days! Do whatever you need to do to get the anti-nausea meds that you need. Remember, we are here to listen to you anytime -- keep writing.
