I mean I despised her blog and her job and thought she sounded like a horrible therapist, but I am sorry to hear she has cancer. Her reaction to the oral chemo is very similar to what my person experienced. Right down to the dismissive responses of the medical people.

oh that is sad. i read her blog for a little while, but her ramblings got to be too much for me.

And there is always the fact that I am just rather hard-hearted.
I do, however, recognize some of her cancer response. It was freaky for me to have bags of drugs with hazmat warning all over them and the creepy gasmask/skull picture on all of the containers - and I was not the one who had to swallow it. We did laugh a bit over the do not touch but you must swallow instructions. The oral chemo was not pleasant or even just okay to endure nor effective for my person. But as she goes along, her response to the different chemo regines have gotten worse and worse as her body weakens from the constant barrage.

you absolutely do not need to answer this question, of course (and i know you dont need my permission), but i often wonder why so many people suffer the horrors of chemo. is it because there is absolutely a certainty it will kill the cancer, so you suffer now to live a better life? I guess I get that. But it seems like your person has been suffering for a long time now
Cancer scares the ever-loving shite out of me.
