Hi Wayne, Im Linda and I too am fixing to start my radiation treatments on August 7th. All I can suggest is you read everything you can on it from here and let all these wonderful people help you get through this, and if you have a question, ask here, no matter what it is, someone will be able to answer you. I totally understand the waiting, thats how i am. I just want to start this so it will be over and life can go on. Good Luck and lets keep in touch, maybe we can learn from each other.
