Potential new job and upcoming cancer treatments

[Robino1]

Congratulations and good luck on e treatments.

Report any side effects to the oncologist. They can help with most of them. Don't suffer with nausea, they can give you meds if needed. Always better to get ahead of nausea rather than fixing it after you've gotten sick. Hydrate well!!

Thanks a lot! Yeah it's just regular radiation instead of proton therapy radiation that my oncologist originally planned, which was supposed to have fewer side effects.

That's great news about the job - it will be good to have something exciting to look forward to when you get through with the treatment. Have you started those yet? Hope you are feeling ok and not having a bad time with the side effects!

Thanks for letting us know! Congratulations!
