    I have had lots of chemo. It sucks. Good luck!

    Did you name your wheelie-thingy? (that they hang the bags on). I named mine Otis. I figured if Otis was good enough to keep the elevators from crashing to the ground, then he was good enough to sort out how much of what drug I am getting at the time.

    My longtime friend got diagnosed with a very aggressive stage 4 cancer 3 weeks ago. Last Thursday, his kidneys and liver began failing. He was hospitalized and doctors didn’t think he would survive the weekend. A dozen friends came on Sunday, and he’s doing a little better now. Still, I know his chances aren’t good.

    But your picture gives me hope, and hope is always a good thing.

      Hey mate, hope you and your buddy are holding up. My grandpas in the hospital and needing radiation therapy. I can’t remember if it’s cancer or something else, I don’t think it is

      But anyways there’s plenty of communities to talk or heck even just vent if you need to

    been there, done that, try to eat some crackers or something if you can, keep your energy up. Chemo is brutal, I’m currently growing my hair out to donate it and I’ve still got these super tight curls for the first few inches of growth from the chemo making it grow back differently. Everyone says it looks great, so hopefully it makes someone a nice wig. But god, I remember how much I hated the nausea and how much more I hated and even grieved over the loss of my hair at the time (I like my hair, okay? And I look terrible bald.)

    You got this. It’ll suck ass every minute, but you got this.
