Thank you Kate. Also last time I had 36 rad treatments and did not miss a day of work. It was hard but I did it. I am now 68 years old and still working but plan on using all the sick leave I have if I have to go through this again. I have 3 months so that should be sufficient. However last time I also suffered a lot of pain and refused any medication to help. Did you take meds for pain? If so what helped? This time I want to be informed and prepared. Also this time I feel overwhelmed - any advice. Thanks, I need help!!
