A friend of mine also just finished her radiation treatments for a small breast cancer. She had her last treatment on Friday and flew home on June 1.

She was one of the lucky ones who got very little burn from it and no fatigue has set in so far.

However, they told her that the effects she is feeling right now are from several weeks ago, and the effects from the later radiation are still to come.

Perhaps that is what you are going through right now, Kendall? I hope very much that you will see a dramatic improvement in a week or so, both in your throat and in your energy level.

The throat is such a vital, vulnerable part of us that aggressive invasion of any sort is a pain (no pun intended).

Be well.
