my dad passed away in April of 2009 from lung cancer. He took chemo and it never made him v* he just had horrible d*. That said, I have thought about this for a very long time, "could I take chemo if I was diagnosed with cancer" my answer is still no. I can't put myself into the situation of v*. I know I will not get well without the chemo but then again, it didn't help my dad. A lady I work with fought breast cancer and won. She took the chemo. She said she has never been so violently ill. She said that if I was ever diagnosed she would hog tie and and drag me to the appointments. I told her that I would keep it a secret.
I'm sorry if that bothers anyone but that is how I feel and this is coming from someone that saw her dad pass away after going through every treatment they could to cure his cancer.
