Vicki, please feel free to vent here if you need to. After you have been around a while, you will learn how close we are. Its like a huge family where we all understand each other very very well due to the common bond of OC.

Most of us are plagued by some sort of after effects from radiation. I have many of these 'little lovlies' and sometimes get grumpy about it. When I catch myself doing that I just keep telling myself, Ive been thru so much worse that its really not a big deal.

Hope you are feeling better very soon.
