Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I was never really bothered by the rads and chemo. I got the usual rash on my chin and neck . My tongue and inside my mouth still give me problems, but I think that's from the Rasdiation seed implants in my tongue. I truly believe, it's that uyou have to keep the positive attitude. I'm a few years older than you Nancy at 72 and if I can handle it, you can too. I hate to put that age out here. LOL J/K I am proud of that age and don't look any older than 82.
