Seeing as how I get started this Monday for Rad & chemo combined, I have read everythng here and will keep checkingin with questions. I feel you have gone thru it and the ones going thru this treatment will be very good in giving me advice as I join you in the Rad & chemo. I have no idea when the treatments will start , but at least I have an idea of what to expect .. Thank you all
