You are going through a lot, and it is scary, but you can do this for your sake and the sake of your children.
There are many here who have gone through the 7 weeks of radiation and survived and are living their lives wholeheartedly and to the max.
Take it a day at a time, stay hydrated, and make sure you are taking in enough calories, by mouth or by PEG.
You can do this, and this treatment will pass in a flash. Praying strength, courage and peace your way.
Aloha, Barbara (Caregiver, Cheerleader, Encourager for Richard)
