    Congrats
    Great news....

    Just as a reminder so you don't get discouraged...you still cook for a few weeks post rads. So it does take a good 4 - 6 weeks post rads to start noticing improvement and start feeling a little better... It's slow, but on the positive side, you are done.... :)

    Best,

    On the Road to Recovery
    Have to admit, I was irritated and sad when I didn't start feeling better as soon as rads ended, and I KNEW that many are at their lowest the last week of rads and next two or three weeks. Still, it was good to know that I was no longer engaging in activity that was damaging my body. Hope things go smoothly.

    Finished Radiation
    Walking out of the hospital after that last rad is such a great feeling, no matter how bad you might feel otherwise. Glad to hear your Mom's doing so well, it bodes well for a smooth recovery. Cheers
