Radiation is no walk in the park for sure, but like everything else it is as bad as you let it be. Near the end of mine I got very down and was in quite a bit of pain and wanted to quit. I probably would have without a couple of boots in the butt from people like David, Charm and Pete and an interesting story from Brian Hill about termites. But remember that I have had treatments twice so the skin irritation was quite a bit more severe. Everyone reacts differently also. During my first radiation, I had red skin, but nothing very severe and very little dry mouth.

You are fortunate to have this site to research and get information about the radiation prior to receiving it. Also to have the support during treatments. I was on my own for my first treatments and was totally unprepared for everything from the making of the mask to the actually treatments.

What I wonder is why she says that you are possible candidate in the future if your margins are not clear now? I am a little confused about your treatment plan I guess.
