Recovery can be a frustrating time, it can take many months. It can be difficult with having ups and downs and some setbacks too. Radiation continues to work for several weeks after the treatments have finished.
Im glad you are focusing on your intake! That will have a huge impact on getting you thru your recovery easier.
Hang in there! The worst is behind you.
