Go Rosy - the fact that you are reading this with a week to go is a HUGE plus (I was hospitalized my last week of rads....though I could only tolerate 5 weeks of displatin).....keep up the great attitude! You can do this. Getting your head around it is tough....I did find a great counselor to lean on for 5 or 6 visits too as I did realize the enormity of all this (about at month post 3). HUGS!
