You feel the hit right now, but later in life you get to reap the benefits - by still being alive.  (Chemo Quotes) I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn’t know. I really didn’t get any nausea. I didn’t have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half  (Chemo Quotes) For most people, chemotherapy is no longer the chamber of horrors we often conceive it to be. Yes, it is an ordeal for some people, but it wasn’t for me, nor for most of the patients I got to know during my four months of periodic visits to the chemo suite  (Chemo Quotes) During chemo, you’re more tired than you’ve ever been. It’s like a cloud passing over the sun, and suddenly you’re out. But you also find that you’re stronger than you’ve ever been. You’re clear.

Previously, it has taken you weeks, months, or years to discover the meaning of an experience. Now it’s instantaneous  (Chemo Quotes) When I was 41, I found a lump the size of a grape in my right breast. I ended up bald, sick and exhausted from surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments.
