Chemotherapy Experience 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 [...]

Nicole G Good Ok, this is a request for information or help...for my mom who is undergoing Chemotherapy treatment. She will be experiencing metalic tastes very easily...so it is recommended that she cooks with glass pots (pyrex) or Enamel Coated Cast Iron is preferrably the best...do any of you know where in the Lower Mainland she can get some? It is also recommended that she eats with plastic utinsels and cooks with wooden spoons or silicone spatulas. Any info or help would be appreciated. She is due to go for her second treatment this week. She actuallly goes every three weeks. And now is experience some hair-loss. [I love you momma...maybe we can find you what you need.] Thank you!
Larry James Tuger Laurenc Got a call from an old friend, Gary McKnight, Western High Class of '61. Gary has been fighting cancer and went through chemotherapy(not a great experience as he says.) But this week he made my day when he called and said his cancer was in full remission. I am very thankfull for all of the friends I made at Western. We started as a Jr High and became the second graduating class at Western. I think this made us closer in that we spent extra time together. As we grow into our "Golden Years" we have lost many good friends.By remembering the good times we had their memories remain strong, their spirit stays with us, and they don't just fade away. Always remember the good times we had and share them with your children and grandchildren and they will never fade away!!!
