But they say I have to have a port put in and a PEG before I start and I haven't been set up for that yet. Plus I have to have that mask that freaks me out made before I can start. I appreciate all your comments. I know radiation is different for everyone, but it sounds pretty terrible in general. I had no symptoms or pain until the doctors got ahold of me. It seems like they can't do enough to make me miserable - lol.
