Hi, Angie, just want to wish you the best of luck with your radiation. It probably won't be an easy thing to get through, and some people have an easier time than others. What is your support system, people who can help you if you need them to? Don't turn down any offers for help By the middle of rad tx., you may need to just rest as much as you can and let others do chores, shopping, laundry, etc. Since you don't start until the 17th, I hope you can eat everything you want between now and then.[I don't know what your surgery entailed] Gain some weight if you can. Keep posting so we can send hugs when you need them. Amy in the Oz
