Why are you stopping work at this stage of your Radiation? I was like many who was able to work fairly well until about the 4 week of my rads. Heck some here worked all the way through but some experienced problems sooner than me. Just wondering. As Gary says this Tx can affect all of us differently so lets hope who are one of the "blessed ones". Regardless of how it affects you we will be here for you 24/7.
