Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 71 | Nate posted on his facebook late last night that he was wiped out. He did chemo yesterday and has his first radiation today. He was hoping to get a video done...maybe today.

FB is in no way a substitute for the OCF forums but another way to get to know the people here.
Still sounding great in your video.
Best of luck with the treatment and hope it passes quickly for you.
