Hi there there are lots of BOT people here they'll be along to welcome you. For most of this type of cancer the treatmnrs are relatively similar - most of us do som level of radiation and chemo - an the postngs are accurate - around week 3- hangs become very uncomfortable - I was blessed in that I only really suffered at the end the two weeks following radiation are the worst. As its cumulative. I hoe you are being seen at. Ccc - it's important to get the best treatment possible. I was per all able o drive back and forth to rads daily right to the end, but mt drive was only 20-30 minutes and i Didn't on chemo days - because my hospital kept me in for 24 hrs so I would get dropped off and picked up. I had th three arge doses as opposed to six small. Best of luck you'll get through it. It's doable but definitely hard. wink
