Finally treatment will start!

I had my lumpectomy on October 12, just under a month after I was diagnosed. Since then I have had a series of problems getting the rest of my treatment going.

So, I am back on the compazine, swallowing incessantly and wondering why, five days after treatment did it suddenly decide to make itself well known. Hopefully the compazine will kick in soon.
