Not too much history
Hi Amy,
I finished WBR very recently, so my experience is limited to this year only. I would also like to hear from people who have been a year or more out from WBR.
During the 15 rad treatment, I sailed through. The fatigue, nausea, and sensitivity to taste all started after ending a week or so. After 2.5 months, I'm still experiencing all of these lovely side affects. I must say my mind doesn't seem as sharp. Hopefully this will get better after my energy is back. What's been frustrating is one symptom will get better for a few days and I think 'yeah, I'm done with that one', then it rears it's ugly head again.
Tell your sis to hang in there. This too shall pass.
