    More good luck!
    Wishing you the same good luck I've had so far. I'm on #21 of 33 and so far no side effects except I've been a little more sleepy than normal. Much better than chemo!

    Keep us updated!

    an easy time of it. Once you get started the time will pass by quickly and you will be done before you know it.

    Starting my rads
    First actual treatment today. It takes me longer to drive there then the treatment. It's a difficult time to start a new treatment with the Holidays coming up.To say I'm a little stressed with full time work, taking care of things at home and trying to finish Christmas on top of Radiation is an understatement.

    Good luck with the rads. It is much easier than chemo, it just gets tiresome going daily. I wish for you no burning or side effects.

    Good luck with those rads. It will be over before you know it!
    Just try to take it one day at a time. I worked full time at a
    very demanding job during my rads & got through it OK, so I hope
    you can, too! Best wishes!

    Easier than chemo but at times you can get a bit toasty. Still easier all the way around.
