I am 72 years old. I just completed this in March- 7 weeks radiation and 6 doxorubicin therapy.
- I was "ok" up to week 3.
- weeks 4 to 7 I hired someone to drive me, Because I was on oxycodone 5mg and tired.
- I was on a total liquid diet, weeks 4 through 10. Kate Farms .
- I couldn't drink enough water so I was hydrated IV one or 2 times a week.
- I hired a dog walker.
- I was in pain all the time, because I didn't want to increase the oxy. I did take oxy plus 2 tylenol.
- I kept a daily log
- the team did blood work weekly and mine was always very good.
- I had to take 6@1000 Tums to keep my calcium up, post op.
- I was tired and took naps
- I lost 15 lbs.

I was afraid of the mesh mask that they make to go over my head. But I made friends with it because I knew I couldn't hold me head straight without it.

I met many women going through radiation. Most breast cancer.

You will be able to do this. You do it one day at a time.
