Hello All,
Hope you had a great 4th of July. I had treatment on Monday, and all went as it was supposed to. I keep hoping to go in and hear that I don't have to continue with the final treatments! But, just 2 to go so things are looking up. I think I am in denial again and just refuse to believe that I can't do what everyone else is doing. Seem to be wearing myself out alot these past few treatments but I bounce back with a little extra rest. I am soliciting info on radiation these days, so anyone in the know, please give input. Just curious how it affects you. Most people are saying it is not nearly as bad as the chemo, but I don't imagine it is a joyride, either.

Relay for Life is coming right up on the 20th. Thank you to all who have donated to such a worthwhile cause. There is still time...

Anyway, just wanted to quickly update you all. Feeling pretty strong and somewhat in control these days. Isn't that what we all hope for in our lives? Thank you for your support and love. I am feeling quite "full" these days. My life is overflowing with good things and great people.

Liz,
Radiation is tougher than chemo. It is wicked and the side affects last a long time.
Stan would become sick instantly after a treatment. Sick to his stomach and in pain. He would have to go to bed and was not well enough to do anything for the rest of the day.

It was a bad scene all around. I think if he would have opt out of the radiation he would have lived a little longer. His insides became raw from the treatments.
Others have had it and it worked for them but not without side affects. They last seemingly forever.

I pray that God will give you an answer on what to do.

Love and blessings, Glenda
