Hello and welcome, David. I have been gone for a couple of weeks as I suspect many others have since you did not receive a timely response to your question. The fact that we survivors are out enjoying vacations should give you hope that there will be better times ahead for you. As you begin to experience side effects from radiation, search these messages or check the archives, as there are many tips that have been shared as we patients figure them out. I learned things here that were news to the doctors and nurses. Radiation is no walk in the park, but it is so important and as one who came through it still smiling, I can tell you that it is certainly something you can manage. Here's a tip: marking the days off on a calendar made the time go more quickly for me. Good luck to you!
