Thanks, Gals -

for all your tips and insight. Things are a little better tonight without much more intervention so this may be something I am adjusting to.

May have to try the new sleep aid as the "getting wired" is beginning.

I will have some kind of mild sedative - they told me that. Nurse said it will kick in quickly.

Dex Dosage - when I queried the rad onc last week about cutting - he said if the diffuse edema was down where they needed to see it on the procedure MRI, I would be cut to half at 2 x 4mg per day and maybe not that for very long. That sounded good to me. ;)
