But it's 30-35 days of your life - chemo is done with it. A few months to recover (I'm at week 8 and feeling good) and you should find your new normal. the say it take one month of recovery fir every week of rads. You sound healthy and strong - please treat it waiting will only make the situation worse... Hugs and take care!
