Rich:

I'm glad I found your thread as I start rads in a week or so, no chemo at this time, I'm hoping rads alone will be easier.

Still, it helps to know where you are in your treatment and the side effects it's causing.

You have a great positive attitude that shows in your post.

Good luck with continued treatment, I hope you can kick the cold soon.
