Nelie,

I did not have to endure radiation therapy and so I have no real advice to offer you but I just wanted to say that I admire everyone who has gone through it. When I see those masks and I think of you on that table every day, I know I would not have made it through without Valium. So I guess that might be my advice -- how about a muscle relaxant for your neck, like Valium or Flexeril? It would certainly make it easier to get through those treatments.

Good luck -- Barb
