Everyone will experience radiation and its side effects in their own unique way. Some struggle from day one while others sail right thru. The best thing to do is keep up good nutrition with a minimum of 2500 calories every single day and 48 oz of water. Since you are recovering from surgery add some high protein whey powder to your liquids and that will help boost your protein intake and speed healing.

I dont think one of us 'wanted' to do radiation or any other treatment but it was necessary to save our lives. In a fight with cancer you just gotta do what is necessary and hit it with everything so it wont come back. You dont want to be put in a situation where you are thinking "I wish I had...". I know its not easy but it can be done and if you arent comfortable with your treatment plan talk with your doctors and ask them to explain in more detail why they feel you need more treatment or you can also seek out a second opinion.

Best wishes!
