Physically radiation was a walk in the park for me. Although I did get a little tired toward the end. The burn was uncomfortable but not unbearable. I found that emotionally it was hard for me. Having to come in to the clinic every day for a whole month was hard. It really made me feel sick, not like I was healthy but it hit home shall we say. By the time it was over, I was completely ready for it to be..sherryg
