Valerie,
please be prepared for stuff to happen once the Tx is over.
The frentic activity (going to and from tx) ceases as does the constant interaction with medical personnel. That takes its toll, Also the radiation effects will linger for a long time. For me the last week and especially the 2 weeks after Tx were worst.
Best
