Rest assured that we will be here throughout your Tx and will answer any questions you may have. May not always be what you're hoping for but you get what you pay for.
Use whatever Forum seems appropriate to your question(s.
Where was your primary?
Hope you ate all your favorite fatty foods. If not you have at least another week to enjoy them guilt free.
Your first "strap down" might cause your heart to pound a little more than usual. Moffitt let us listen to loud music during each rad Tx and that helped past the time even though it was only 20 - 30 mins. The longer time was each week's measurements. Another thing...I took my portable DVD and watched a movie during Cis days as they can be really boring.
