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


Mateo Fresquez I love seeing so many lovely people who I had the great honor of befriending at teacher training! Thursday in Mountain View,I took a class along side Mariam Jazayeri (it was her 7 year anniversary to the day, that she had her last chemo treatment and she is Rocking!), also got to see Mirna Marušić (so so sorry I couldn't stay for the double, I really really want to take your class). Yesterday I took Tasha Pasternack's class (so so fun, you are amazing!) and today I get to go to the Mission and take a class from the lovely Miss Becca Cammack as she teaches her Super Bowl Sunday yoga marathon! I haven't gotten the chance to teach yet on this yogi sojourn yet, but soon enough! I'm getting a lot just by being able to go and take so many classes in different studios and teachers!!!

Sandipan Siromoni NEW DELHI: Yuvraj Singh, the hero of India's victorious World Cup campaign last year, is being treated for lung cancer in the United States, his physiotherapist said on Sunday. Jatin Choudhary told a television news channel that the all-rounder was diagnosed in October and was being treated in Boston, but said the disease was in its early stages. "Once he is done with chemo in March, his rehabilitation would be complete by April end and he would be perfectly fit to play in May," Choudhary told a news agency. Yuvraj's family said last November that the all-rounder had been battling a golf ball-sized non-malignant lung tumour which first affected him


Yolette Young Jaquan's update: We went for his monthly appt on Thursday. They had to poke my baby seven times to get a draw of blood. It broke my heart to see and hear my baby hurting. FB I have to stay on my knees because the mood swings that come with chemo is awful. But with God's help we are still standing strong. His Liver count was alittle off but the Dr said it is not enough to worry. So thank you fb keep the prayers and support coming it is still well needed.


Debra Taffi Will all of you amazing, generous people who helped me through my chemo with all of your prayers please pray for my cousin Sandy? She had her first one this past week and is struggling. Please pray.


Delores Bowermaster Richard has qualified for the clinical trial for the lymphoma and will begin the chemo on Tuesday. Pray his body will accept it and it will destroy the cancer.
