Dont ever aplogize for whining , or for feeling that what you are going through is any less then what the rest of us had or have. We all have diiferent Diag & Tx and we all handle things differently and we all have different personal issues and so on and so forth. SO none of us are any better of then any other. We all have the disease and we all want to beat it ! That is what we have in common...And you have come to the right place for information and support ! I am not personally aware of the effects of Rad, as I didn't have it , But you can find lots of information here, I can say as I understand it ..it does get worse before it gets better ...But in the end it will all be worth it . I have to say that it is nice that you are so close to a cancer center ,,,that is a def plus. But mainly you are right one foot in front of the other and ONE DAY AT A TIME AND SOMEDAYS ONE MOMENT AT A TIME ! And knowledge is power ...the more you know the better of you are . SO best wishes to you and may you keep finding the strength you need to get through this !
