Thanks everyone!
So I'm starting Day 4 now. On Day 2 I awoke with pretty strong nausea but took the Compazine and lay back down and felt better. Later in the day I got the wildest bout of hiccups 3 different times. They haven't come back and I also got a prescription for Prilosec because I was complaining of a little heartburn.
On Days 2 and 3 I was noticeably tired. I took time out to grab a nap when I could and went to bed early. Hard to gauge how Day 4 will go but I don't think I'm quite as tired out of the gate.
Appetite is good, I'm eating well. No ill effects I think from radiation treatments yet (there have only been 3 of them; fourth this afternoon).
