Carol-

Congrats to you BOTH, you have both made it thru a huge storm. As Wayne said, there is still a ways to go. The pain, depression, etc actually kicked in AFTER therapy was done. Remember, the rad stays in the body for approx 6 weeks after tx. I am not trying to rain on your parade AT ALL--I just wanted to let you know. The good part is, now he can sleep & you 2 can be together (I'm assuming) and you know there is light at the end. Great job-I hope all stays well!
