I had a rougher time with the chemo than the radiation. All my life my stomach has been a problem and the chemo kept me on all fours, close to the throne, if you know what I mean. It has been over so long that I don't remember what it was like until my wife reminds me. Heck, I don't remember much from that few weeks and I was even working through most of it.
