My stomach feels like it is in a nervous trimble all the time and it is like I am having a panic attack in my stomach. It would be great to soothe my stomach with something. Today I have woke up with a stopped up nose and I am worried to death about how I will handle radiation. It is so hard for me as it is and I definately don't need to get sick as my immune system is kaput due to the radiation and chemo. Today will be my 20th rad treatment and Thursday will be my 5th chemo so I am more than half way there.
I thank you all so much for the support you have provided me as I am traveling down this road of uncertainty. I don't think I could have made it this far without the support I have received from the wonderful people on this web-site. Again thank you, Angel
