As everyone has said and will say: welcome. And also that we're all different. Personally after about 2 weeks I found it impossible to do anything but drive my butt to RT every day, come home and collapse. Stopped working about that time and didn't have the strength to resume until about 5 months after the end of treatment. Maybe I was coddling myself, but since I was able to do so I did!

Hope everything goes smoothly for you. As smoothly as possible, of course. This is a tough treatment but I'm confident you'll come through it!

Follow Christine's good advice and please keep us posted. It might also be a good idea when you can to make yourself a signature here as we all have done.

Courage!
