The "dry run" for radiation is Monday, then chemo will start Tuesday after radiation is given early morning. The first session of chemo will last 5-6 hours, and then will be for 3 hours each time thereafter.

Thanks so much for the links. I'm going to check them out.

I hope I'm posting this correctly now! 😂
