Laura, I had rad and chemo too, and I just blocked out that time from my real life. I decided before I began, that I could handle absolutely anything that was necessary for that period of time. Strangely, because I was prepared for something unimaginably awful, it never got to that point. Never forget that you will get past this time, Laura. It is short period of your life. Mark every day off on a calendar so you can see what you have accomplished and how much closer to the end of treatment you are. You will find that you are tougher than you thought, and you can be very proud of yourself when you look back. Everyone here is pulling for you.
