Today's treatments of concurrent chemo and radiation usually breaks the chemo infusions into weekly smaller doses as opposed to how they did it with me 2 years ago, which was one huge dose every 3 weeks, three doses in total. Most who get the smaller weekly doses handle it far better than those of us that got the bigger bags so it may not be as bad as you are thinking.
