Thank you for sharing your story. As a nurse, I often see things from the medical viewpoint only but sharing your story puts the reader in your shoes and your journey. Best wishes.

I hope in some way it will give somebody strength to know they too, can fight this battle. I am sure my chemo dr, would laugh at my viewpoint, he often does at my comments. He is a wonderful dr. Thank you for your kind review.

My step mother just went through a lot of this with cancer in her esophagus. I could see right away how much the chemo can drain someone. You are doing good writing these. I feel they will help others get through their struggles as well.

Comment from Nanashirley
I know what you are going through in mind and heart. My brother-in-law had chemo and radiation together. We were sure the treatment would do him in. He is 2 years cancer free now. He still has some side effects for the radical treatment but gets better each day. We all think of you in our prayers.

Hullo Barbara ....
With the various glimpses that you have given to your readers about all that is involved with Chemotherapy, you will certainly have a 'blow-by-blow' record of what you are having to endure, to keep in your own files.
From a writing point of view, there are just a few small errors including ... he'll decided if this sore ... which should be - he'll decide ....
As with all your other friends on FanStory, I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love from ..... Nanette Mary.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate your eagle eye. I guess chemo also effects my ability to edit my own work. I make many more mistakes these days.

There is no doubt, I really admire your courage as you continue this battle. As always, my prayers are with you.
Ironically, recently I discovered a spot of basal cell cancer on my arm. However, due to a lack of health insurance, it's going to have to remain untreated for now. And I'm really glad it is what it is, as compared to what you are having to deal with.

There are many ways to get free medical care for cancer. I know a few weeks back a lady was getting chemo for free. I am not sure how, and I don't know about basal cell cancer, but you may want to check it out.

Comment from Connie P
My goodness, Barbara. I hope the sore heals soon, I would say I can't imagine having something you can't reach but I have had and thank God for my husband who treated it and bandaged it.
The complexity of this treatment of yours is mind-boggling. I'm sure that's an understatement of great proportions. You continue to be in my heart and prayers. Thanks for the update! When this is all over, maybe we can go nude sunbathing together, it sounds like we would be a good match.

I vote for that. I don't have a clue why somebody my age would even consider nude sunbathing. Oh well, thank you for the kind review.
