    I did it! Last summer, 5 weeks of radiation + chemo. I found it really was not bad until the end, but even then everything was manageable. You will do it!

    How did you get them to declare a holiday in Spain just to get out of chemo/rad?

    You can do it!
    Pepe,

    Chemo/rad together is manageable. I did 5 weeks this past summer. Just be kind to yourself and rest when you need to. My biggest problem was thinking the effects ended with the treatment. Plan on at least a couple more weekw until you feel more like "normal" (whatever the heck that feels like). Will be waiting to hear how you are doing.

    I suppose all depends of the area they have to irradiate
    in my case they have to work on a few mischievous lynph nodes in retroperitonal lining !
    Easy! but they are normal size after chemo success , hope they hit in the right place!
