Hi Tom,

Good for you, getting all the info down and being clear about them. It can be pretty confusing to someone who is already/ anxious. The treatments seem to be par for the course but I was a bit surprised about your getting radiation for six months, are you sure it isn’t six weeks?

At this point, I would go out and eat all my favorites foods if I were you. Indulge. It will be a while before you can enjoy them again. Have you lined up other supports like having someone driving you to and from the hospital and to look after you a bit at home?

By the way, did you talk to your doctors about your rash? You will be getting quite a few CAT scans over the next little while; if it is the contrast (dye) that’s causing the problem, you really need to let your doctors know.

You can do it, it is tough at times but you can do it.
