Kerri - my treatment... Well I was blessed im not sure why but in comparison to others it wasn't fun - but I got through it ok... Some do really well with treatment, some struggle a lot - most fall in the middle. Personally - I think i was very fortunate - i had a peg.. Couldn't use it (made me throw up) so I sucked it up and drank my meals towards the end of treatment. Because of this I had my peg removed 2 weeks post treatment (on my birthday!) and was feeling okay about 6 weeks out, in fact I asked work if they needed a hand closing up. Three weeks out I was feeling better... But the two weeks after radiation. We're the worst by far. I no longer work as a nurse... I work for the school board. So I was actually off until September (but was fine to go back to work probably 2 mos out). PT is a heavier job though I would look at 4 mos. minimum depending on how you do with treatment. Good luck... You'll kick it in the butt. Diet makes a big difference in healing. Avoid filling up on junky calories. High calorie healthful foods will serve you well. Hugs!
