There are many of us that have recently completed IMRT and would be more than willing to share the details of our journey through the Dark Tunnel as I called it. Just ask and the responces will flow.
Just keep one very important point in mind...you will emerge from the Tunnel and you will feel much better around the 15th of Feb assuming you don't miss any Tx days. Mark that date on your calendar.
