Chemo Information
New Chemotherapy Blog
I have always wanted to write about my cancer and chemotherapy experiences and now I will. Yes, it seems like a real depressing subject, but, I think it something I need to do it. However, I really do not want to clutter up this blog and take it down that road, so I have started [...]
Chemo Brain
Now they call it Chemo Brain. There are pages upon pages of data on this dysfunction. When I did chemotherapy in 1992 the term was not used, at least not that I heard. It fits, and I believe it to be a real side effect factor to be considered and dealt with. Almost as soon [...]
How many types of Cancer are there?
I was doing a little research into Cancer, again. I guess once you have been through Chemotherapy it stays with you. The concerns of cancer coming back are always with me. It’s not really a worry as much as a realization that it is highly probable. I have written some about my Chemotherapy at my [...]
My Chemotherapy Wardrobe
Now here was a plus. While doing chemo I found my wardrobe the one thing that I liked. It was real simple.Sweat Pants, T-shirts and a bandana. Easy to mix and match.The only problem I ran into was in a few public places. Once while walking through a mall I was harassed by the security [...]
Clear the Chemo Taste
I am sure each patient and each Chemotherapy is different, but I had a terrible time with how it affected my taste buds. Everything had a metallic taste to it. Things that I loved I could not tolerate with this added flavor.Finding something to drink became an increasingly difficult task. I loved sodas but could [...]
Chemotherapy and Humor
I am going to use 2 words that certainly will not appear to go together.Chemotherapy and Humor.Why? Because I found out very quickly that you had to have one to survive the other. If you can manage to keep a little sense of humor a big part of the Chemotherapy experience will be a lot [...]
Cancer Resources
I started chemotherapy the first week of the new year in 1992. On some scales it seems like yesterday, and on others it seems like an eternity ago.The first thing that is probably drastically different for anyone today is the available resources. In 1992 there was no Internet. I was given all the literature from [...]
The start of my Chemotherapy Blog
Whenever I tell someone I am a Cancer survivor the conversation almost always turns to Chemo Therapy and how it affected me.I wish Blogs had been around when I was in the middle of my Chemo so I could have kept a log of the daily events.
I talk to crackers
No, I am not making a racist statement, I really talk to crackers. You know, crackers, the kind you eat. My taste buds must be warped. I like to blame it on the chemotherapy I did 14 years ago. After Chemo my taste for some things was changed. Beer taste terrible, unless it is a [...]

Chemo on Facebook
Laura David Landers I have a friend Kristy who has a beautiful baby girl Madilyn . Madilyn has the same cancer as my baby girl. Unfortunately they thought they had gotten all of Madilyn' s cancer a while back and it came back. This family has been through soooooo much and my heart breaks. Kristy recently found out that Madilyn' s afp has spiked again. The doctors stopped chemo and are giving her 2 months. Please pray for this brave girl and her mother too. Pray that they find some help. We love you Kristy and Madilyn!!!!!!

Kathy Schultz I am so thankful for what the Lord has done for me. He used a treatment of Chemo and the touch of the master's hand to put my cancer in remission. I am a blessed woman and I am so proud to be one of God's children.
Kurt Kinsey It's Serenitys big run this morning! Been working out but not running.......but hey, if she can go thru Chemo, I cam run 3+miles right! I am going to post her page again should you be so inclined to donate to her cause. Cheers, Oh, and for my San Diego peeps, this is pirate weekend at the Maritime museum in the Harbors. Cannon ball fights, swashbucklers and treasure hunts! Might want to enjoy this!
Wilf Dragatis Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful, bright, sunshiny day here in downtown L.A., although the temp. is only going to be in the mid teens. Well I have to go for my 1st Chemo treatment Monday morning at 8;20, not looking forward to it but it has to be done. I don't know how many treatments I need, I guess I'll find out in time. Have a great long week-end, I love you all and keep smilin' it doesn't cost a cent.
Scott Dudek I am off to UM Hospital to see my dad. They found another brain tumor at the back of the head. The chemo doc thinks the next does will help contain it. the original one seems to be not growing.
Mary Jo Guthrie A lot of people are asking about Marvin's status. He will work today and Monday, go to the hospital Tuesday for the port to be installed, and will start his chemo Wednesday. He is still tired from not getting rest at night due to the pain, but is ready to get started with his treatment. We know that this summer will not be an easy thing to go through, but we have to do it. He is planning to walk in the survivors walk at the Relay next spring and we still want to dance and enjoy one another. Everybody has been so kind and caring and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Continue your prayers and pray that he will be okay on June 2nd when we get married. Thank you for everything.
Dianna Tuck McCollum Riding to the Austin Airport in style, flying home. Wonderful time, reflection and my aunt wrapped me up in her prayer shaw given to her from her church and we prayed together. Our God is good...all things considered she is handling chemo very well
