Chemo vs. Radiation

Which is worse. I was very very sick from the Radiation, which was surprising. I wasn't told that 30% of patients have very bad reactions. I was sick for 2 years after finishing radiation. Literally hell on earth. Did anyone else have that problem?

Oh well, too late now! Thanks for the info, though. Maybe I can pass it along to some of the women here at work that have cancer.

It took me over four years to get over the physical effects of the chemotherapy I had. I had to learn to take better care of myself. It was a long and gradual recovery.
Hope you are doing well now..all the bestxxx

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
