Hi! I am a 19 year stage 3C rectal cancer survivor. I was 39 (2 weeks from 40) years old at diagnosis. I am from Western Nebraska and chose to seek treatment in Rochester, MN at the Mayo. Best decision I ever made. I had (have!) a husband and 2 daughters that were in 9th and 7th grade and choosing to live for 6 weeks in Rochester for radiation was not an easy choice! But, I did it. Radiation for me wasn't too difficult as far as feeling ill. I was mainly just tired. I was on capecitabine at the same time, so my stomach had some issues. But compared to full out chemo, it was a piece of cake. Everyone is different, though. I found a short-term apartment and rented it for my 6 week stay. I'm not sure it still exists as one. I believe it was called Riverside apartments or something like that. What questions can I help to answer?
