One down and 34 to go (IMRT) and 2 to go (Cisplatin).
No issues or complaints; just wanted to lodge a post here and refer back to it as the weeks count down. And of course if any issues that I want opinions on arise.
I really feel like between all of you here already and the doctors and nurses telling me what to expect and giving it to me straight that I'm as ready as I can possibly be. It is a great gift that you here have given me. Courage.
Let's do this!
