Ativan and Zofran were my friends during radiation too (like Nancy's sister, I had amifostine shots through most of my treatment and I definitely needed the Zofran).

My radiation sessions lasted about half an hour I think--except when they did xrays weekly when it might have been more like 35 or 40, but honestly the Ativan caused me to sleep through many of them after about the first week. It's something you think you'll never get used to but you do.
