Michelle,
I started radiation last Thursday and it is going fine. It takes about 3 minutes and I don't feel anything at all. They said fatigue and skin irritation could occur, but it wouldn't be for a few weeks probably. I've read over and over that daily exercise really helps combat the fatigue so my plan is to walk every day. When do you start radiation?
