I drove myself 40 miles each way to/from Moffitt to get my radiation, etc. Towards the end of Tx I would occasionally have to pull off the hwy and toss my cookies and I even would have to visit the bathroom at Moffitt right before I was called to the table. At first I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to get thru the rad session and I really didn't want to make a mess on the table but for some reason, maybe as Dave says "you have to put yourself in another place", once I laid down the nausea was replaced with other feelings and I never had to stop any rad session.
