Thanks Christine and Cheryl. I am definitely going to ask for something industrial strength tomorrow from either my MO or RO. The pain is bearable. I can sleep and whatnot but given I have 9 more treatments I don't want it to get to the point I have trouble showering. As it is I have had to get creative with my work wardrobe but that is a source of much ribbing from the guys I work with which actually helps pass the time.
