I must stay CANCER STRONG in dealing with this horrible disease

I was told going in that the side effects dealing with chemotherapy this time around would be more troublesome than my colon cancer chemo treatments two years ago.

The prognosis was “right on.”

 My chemo treatment for my stage 4 liver cancer got underway last week (Tuesday and Wednesday) with 44 hours of chemo delivered into my body by way of a CADD pump computer.

 Dealing with chemotherapy is a fulltime job.  If you don’t treat it that way it will take over your mind and body.

 The just concluded weekend certainly tested my will.

 I dealt with pain, nausea and vomiting, fever, chills, sores in my mouth and throat, dry hacking cough, cancer-related fatigue.

 I must stay “cancer strong!”

 I must admit I cry uncontrollably when I view Jim Volcano delivering his memorable speech at the 1993 ESPY telecast…
