I don't know how ANY of us made it 6 weeks lol - but we do because the alternative is looking up at the roots! Of course, I can laugh now since it's been over 2 years now. I wasn't laughing much back then I can assure you. Maybe that's the way to get those terrorists to confess - just slap 'em on a LINAC every day.

There is no "norm" -we all respond differently to treatment. A book I had "Living Well With Cancer" by Katin Moore and Libby Schmais talked a lot about side effects and countermeasures.

Towards the end, and for a month or 2 afterwards, I had horrific days to fair days.

Human's are a lot tougher than we give ourselves credit for.

Hang in there - it WILL pass I promise.
