I posted this on my cancer blog today:



First they fill you with enough poisons to make your hair
fall out, your taste buds disappear, your skin dry out, your finger and
toenails to flake, and your bones hurt. 
Neuropathy of the hands and feet is an added feature. Surgery can occur
either before or after the poisoning. Then they cook you until well done. In my
case that’s 2.75 hours total (33 5-mnute treatments) YMMV.  Everyone involved hopes this is adequate.  Sometimes it isn’t.

    Hi Mary,

    I am TN, so I haven't had the same experience that you have had. Yes, tx  stinks and often feels very primitive. I am so sorry that you have had to endure all of it. It is tougher for some than for others, the same for some and different for others. Take good care of yourself.
