Horse, you’ve been an inspiration for this long-time lurker and rare poster... both on the playing and on the building front.
Prayers going out for you, brother.

I feel for you, man. It definitely does suck. Remember, the alternative is exponentially worse. Anxiously awaiting is the day when you can look back on this as a mere blip on your timeline.
Andy, hold your lady-friend's hand through this crap and be aware there are lots of people who want good things for you.
That’s rough but we’re here and praying while you’re going through it and looking forward to some builds when you’re back.
You'll be in my thoughts. The good news is that it took me a few days to start feeling like crap from the Chemo. You may even be good through next week. I had plenty of prunes and stool softener pills - highly recommended for the side effect of chemo. They will probably give you a script for nausea. Don't be afraid to use it.
The radiation is cumulative. The ill effects from that may not kick in for a few weeks.
I know many men do not like stuffed animals, but I have to say that Lucky Bear came with me for all my chemo treatments. He really helped.

Good luck and hang in there. My wife went through this a few years back, so I have a small idea of what you're facing. Like the others have said, it does get better and it varies a lot for each individual. You will get through this! 
Survived another day. I feel like a was in a bar fight and lost..... badly. Stomach and abdomen muscles hurt, shoulder is killing me. But at least this day is behind me. Tomorrow is radiation and chemo.... then just radiation for the rest of the week.
one day down.....

The dumbest thing is that I really want to go into the shop and get some work done, but I absolutely cannot. I am just too sore. Building is what occupies my mind and keeps it off of the cancer.
I'm glad that you've got something to focus on... and to look forward to on the other side of this battle.
More prayers going out for you, Brother.

Plan (yup, that my also be a stretch - but there probably will be days when plan is possible when build is beyond you, so use them when they come to you.)
