Ann Marie...I can promise you that you will have plenty of answers soon. Nearly everybody on this forum has had radiation and chemo (exc. for me and sev. others) and there is a great deal of information contained in archived messages. DavidCPA recently listed a very frank summary of how radiation goes. Do a search for his entries.

Good Luck! When do you begin? It must be quite unpleasant, but everybody gets through it and comes out the other side. Look at the upbeat, positive people who write here every day. Nearly all of them have had radiation and chemo.
