Cindy,

I agree with what some of the others have said. I was determined to keep working as much as possible during radiation, and I drove myself back and forth to treatment every day (although not as far as your husband is driving). It was basically an effort on my part to preserve as much of the "normal" routine as possible to try to convince myself that cancer wasn't consuming every aspect of my life.

Like Kirk, I was generally pretty stoical while I was at work, but when I got home and the pain came on strong, I would scream and vent in frustration. Many of us have looked back and concluded that we were probably awful to live with at that time, but fortunately, healing works wonders.
