A small % of people that have the Rad breeze thru it with hardly any problems. Likewise a small % have a horrible time and can't do anything. The remaining 80% or so of us had a pretty bad time beginning with the 3rd to 4th week of rad and ending with the 3rd week post Tx.
Lets hope you fall into the first group but be prepared for anything.
