I'm happy to tell you that having been through surgery and chemotherapy and radiation, breast cancer is officially behind me. I feel absolutely great and I am raring to go.
It's the closest to death I have ever been. The chemotherapy takes you as far down into hell as you've ever, ever been.
Chemotherapy tests your sanity.
I have friends who are going through chemotherapy, and they make the darkest, most hideous cancer jokes you've ever heard.
I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore.
I had a prostatectomy in the fall and fortunately it was encapsulated and I didn't have to go through chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy takes its toll; the more you keep doing it, you lose your energy, and it gets more difficult to swallow.
Chemotherapy is an opponent in itself - simultaneously curing you and hurting you.
Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.
