Hi Leah, Glad you will be done shortly with treatment, and that it has gone well. Hopefully your GI issues will improve once treatment is complete, and your body is not under so much stress.

Hi Leah - I am glad to hear you are almost done with the radiation treatments. And.... about complaining - that's what everyone here is for. We love and care about you. You're family. My prayers are for your complete healing.

Hugs,
Paula

Hey Leah,

I often think of you. Hang in there. Radiation will make you tired towards the last 2 weeks of the treatment but you'll regain your strength after you stop.

Love,

Hi Leah,

Glad to hear from you! Sounds like you are progressing without many bad effects. Hope this continues with the addition of tamoxifen. Certainly stress plays a role in our health so try and vanquish away your worries like a good zen master.

Hi Leah, I'm happy to hear that you are tolerating your treatment well and that your issue has been identified and treated BUT I wish you could have skipped the whole problem!
I find that stress causes things to loosen up but, in my case, it seems to pass. I wish you excellent health. Thanks for all the kind words and guidance you provided during my intro to MC. :bigbighug:

So glad the radiation is almost over and, hopefully, the end of your GI issues. I hope the topical tamoxifen is available, a great idea for sure. Are you able to work out? You're in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been able to work out. Fortunately, so far, I haven't gotten the fatigue that can come with radiation treatment :)
