You are definitely in the right place here, if you back up and read this thread. That 5-10 minutes is a funny thing. The actual radiation takes about 1 minute. It literally took me longer to get undressed and dressed again than to get the radiation. Overwhelmingly the biggest side effect I have seen is fatigue.
I know you have been at this thing for a while, I am glad you are finally being able to move forward with a plan.
How are you feeling now?

Thanks for your response. I am feeling ok. My family and work family have been so supportive. I was blindsided at first, but am becoming more settled that this is my life right now. One foot in front of the other! I want to work as much as I can during this, so I am sure fatigue will determine that. I will go back and read this whole thread like you suggested. Thanks so much!!
