Beth, I didn't have rads but I can only imagine what a relief it is to be done with it. I'm so glad you have this all behind you. Thats a good idea to take some advil...stay on top of the pain.
You said you wonder if your onc will order tests now that your done with your chemo. All onc's are different. But I would think with chemo and rads behind you he will want to run a PET/CT? That's what mine did and ran labs. But again...each onc does things differently.
At least you got the worse behind you...and that's where we want to keep it.  Take care of yourself and get your rest. And congratulations on getting through your treatment. It won't be long till your feeling back to normal. Hang in there and keep us updated.
Chelee
