Hi Liza

It is no suprise you are feeling anxious. On top of the fact that anyone in your position would be feeling overwhelmed, you are contending with the after effects of chemo and the initial effects of chemoradiation which has knocked your immune system for a loop. I bet that has a large part to play in your current feeling too.

You may feel like you can't but you know on the inside that you can and you WILL go to radiation everyday because you are a fighter. And I know this because you are a nurse so had a fair idea what this treatment would do, and you still signed on. Have faith in yourself, allow time to feel sorry for yourself for a few minutes every day and then kick yourself up the backside and go for that treatment or walk around the block that will give you a sense of accomplishment.
