Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 131 Likes: 5 | Hello dswavey, If there is one peice of advise I can give you it's to stay very connected to the people here on the OCF. The lovely Cheryld (hi Cheryl) and I basically went through rads together (I think she was 1 day behind me) and although it was harrowing and scary we got through it with some love, help, and supprot from eachother, our loved ones, and the other survivors here on the OCF. Stay close me friend. And...the doctors, as crude as they may be, can save your life and hopefully leave you with little more than a little dry mouth.
Peace.
Will
