All my employees used to call me "Plastic Man" because I could work 24 hrs, get run over by a train and still bounce back up and work some more. Nothing seemed to phase me...until this Tx of course. Very barbaric is a mild way that I describe it. The healing takes far far longer than we would like but you just have to go w/ the flow.

I didn't realized you hadn't even finished Tx yet. Listen be very prepared as for a great many of us the few weeks POST Tx were our worse. Let's hope that's not the case for you but just in case you don't start feeling better after the rad ends, don't think it's unusual cause it's actually very usual.
