Thanks for the link PaulB and everybody else that responded, just received my first check on Oct. 25. You all are correct, what a relief! The last 35 rad treatments did something to physically and mentally, some days I take 2 or 3 naps and some days none but still feel tired and worn out. Couldn't work part time let alone full time if I wanted to. Was a master auto mechanic for about 40 years, I have had enough! My wife has been a great care giver but it has also been hard on her as well. We thought she had a ulcer from worrying so much but Dr. said irritated stomach after endoscopy, she is getting better.
