My goodness, David, you have really had one heck of a tough time! I hope you are feeling and doing better now.

I have given it some thought and have chosen NOT to have any side effects (grin). I learned that my treatments will be in a monoplace unit, so no reading or movies for me. Maybe if I use the time to sleep, I won't come out tired? Doc yesterday asked me if I am claustrophobic. I replied that it doesn't matter because I am motivated.

Thanks much, guys, for your input. I am now better informed and ready.
