Hi all

So I'm 10 days out from my modified radical neck and will start Rads soon. Probably cisplatin as well, but that is to be decided this week. My question is, has anyone here had even a decent experience with rads/chemo? I've gotten myself pretty terrified after reading all the posts. I'm trying so hard to stay positive, and I know everyone's experience is different, but just thought I might feel better hearing that someone wasn't completely miserable :-). But maybe this doesn't exist?

Thanks!
