Margaret,
not having to drive to get radiation was nice, but at the same time it did provide a structure around which the day had to unfold.
You are correct the simple fact that because the Tx is over you want to feel better. There is no doubt about that. That works for a very short time and then the reality sets in and therein is the danger. I think that this is why so many people are cautioning you ... be prepared to feel worse before it gets better.

Re Golf... no that was not me, instead I went to work (physically not very demanding). For the last week, I have been interacting with my students via email, but I will try to go in at part time (if possible) next week and take it from there. Is there anything your husband could (and would want to) do as far as hobbies or work etc are concerned (plan a vacation or remodeling, organize the labtop, mp3 library, etc).

It helps to be prepared for the worst, that way any surprise will be a positive one. Also, every day is one day closer to the day when you cross the finish line, even if there are additional hurdles to overcome.

Best wishes to both of you.
