Thanks for your responses. My PET scan was good, thankfully. I have had 3 radiation treatments, was glad to have the weekend off. Mostly just had headaches but Tylenol helped. Some fatigue but pacing myself. Trying to walk 30 min everyday. My dog and I both need it. lol. Roger, has your taste returned? We are trying to eat clean, lots of veges and fruit and protein. No alcohol, sugar, and trying not to eat much processed foods. My daughter sent me lists of cancer fighting foods. Also planning a few fun things to look forward to. Trusting God to get me through it. Traci, is your 2nd round of radiation in a different area? Different side effects? Hang in there, it will go fast.

Hello Lynn, my taste is slowly returning. I can taste chocolate but not much else. It has been 24 days since the last radiation treatment and most of the side effects are waning. I will be hoping your side effects are minimal. It is not easy to go through, but your positive attitude will certainly help.

Hi Lynn, This round is in R -Axilla (lymphnodes) MMCC has metastasized from my right forearm. The radiation is having more side effects than the last time. More of my core is being affected this time. Starting my 3rd week on Monday. Only 4 weeks to go. I too am finding that the headaches and fatigue are the worst this time. One day at a time, good days and bad. Try to stay positive.
