So sorry I haven't gotten on here in a long time. Just got started my rads the other day. So far so good! Feeling good and praying that this goes fast so I can get on with my life. It seems like forever since my dx. But I can see the light at the end of this long tunnel! How has everyone been?

    Good to hear from you. Rads
    Good to hear from you. Rads was not bad for me. If you use your creams as directed and stay hydrated you shoild do well. I know it seems like such a long time, ( I had 33 ) but it goes by before you know it. Best of Luck.

    sleep...
    sleep and more sleep. Any time you start feeling tired, lay down and rest. If you fall asleep, don't worry about it. Just sleep. I did this and never had a problem falling asleep at night.

    Prayers for you!

    I have been doing so good
    You know I have been thru a lot since my dx.With LD dieing and me trying to get thru chemo without him, I have held up rather well! I drink plenty of water every day. I go thru about a gallon a day. And the tiredness is just setting in. But I lay down and just relax. I look at it this way, I have been thru alot and my body needs rest,,so I take the time for myself! I just tell myself that I am gonna win this fight and be the better for it. If there's one thing cancer has taught me, it's that time goes on, and I have to be forget about everyone else and take care of ME! Love you all and you have been there when I needed help and someone to listen when I needed to cry!!!! Thanks to all,,((((hugs and kisses)))

    How are you doing with rads?
    How are you doing with rads? Still ok? You will need extra sleep, just the going everyday will wear you out. So, get plenty of sleep.


    Good luck,
