Dear Brainstorker,
I'm so sorry to hear that you need treatment. But, knowing the extent of those treatments can help you to plan ahead.
My husband and I would have done things differently had we known ahead of time that he was going to need amnifostine treatments each day before radiation. As a result, one doctor gave him the injection and then we had to hightail it 30 miles for radiation each day, and the amnifostine is time-limited. Hind-sight....we would have looked into having doctors closer together.

Love,
Mandi
