Sone- Just wondering how you are doing and feeling. If I am correct you have 3 more treatments to go? Been thinking about you.

How do you give OCF credit for the purchase of carnation VHC on Amazon? I would love to help, but I just didnt see a place to credit OCF. Thanks!

Courtney,

Near the top of the main forum page on the right side is a link to Amazon.

Click on that and it will take you to their site. Do your shopping and OCF will get it's share. Always enter Amazon from this link.

That's all you have to do.

33 IMRT completed, 0 to go!!

I completed my radiation treatments yesterday. I'm so happy to not have to ride down to the hospital every day now and get radiated. All's done but the long recovery...overcoming stage 4 mucositis, swollen cheeks and lips, burned skin on my neck, thick mucous that wakes you every 30 minutes and chokes you, fried salivary glands, fried taste buds, hoarse voice, narcotics addiction...you know, the run of the mill stuff.

Thanks for cheering me on.
Sone

Sone - we are DELIGHTED that you decided against stopping your rads and listened to the wisdom of so many in here to see your treatments to the end....and now you are done! Even tho you will continue to "cook" for a week or 2, after that, you will be on the road to starting the "new you". Just keep posting, and thanks for listening to all in here who truly cared. Warmly, JaneP.
