Ok, so last night I called Dr. M because of the severe leg cramps and he told me several ways to relieve the pain. (massaging the pressure points - let me know if anyone wants to know and I can explain in detail.)
So after following his directions, my leg cramp is gone! I also took potassium supplement. I was able to sleep happily for a few hours, but then I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my butt (no joke). I think the leg cramp moved up to my butt?? Anyway, now I'm taking a very strong pain killer which is helping with the pain, but makes me sleepy.
I'm halfway done with the radiation - 5 more days to go! I really can not wait.
Have a nice week everyone!

Mizuho, it was great talking with you yesterday. I am happy you were able to get some rest. Please keep your spirits up and don't give up the fight. I believe that you will pull through this.
Hi Les - Molly is so cute! I can't wait to see her.
