cindyt,

There are those of us who come out of treatment with fewer effects then others. I am 3 months from my last IMRT treatment. I spent last weekend with my 12 year old son and the boyscouts at thier annual "Klondike Campout" All weekend camping in the snow and cold here in Michigan. I made it just fine.

Last night I made myself a treat. I had a ribeye steak with mushrooms, some pasta and corn. I ate more slowly but I enjoyed it.

You will hear more about our problems here because this is the place we come for solutions to those problems. Also there are those here who have a more difficult time of it and its hard to post that some of us are up, about and eating steaks.

IMRT killed my cancer. It's the reason I can go to the scouting events with my son, even if they are crazy cold.
