I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant.

In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer.

My biggest fear in life is losing the people I love, and the thing with cancer is that it seems that you can't really control it.

I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.

The radiation was worse by far. I had bandages all over my head. I looked like a mummy. On the side of my head and neck and down to my collarbone, I had second-degree burns. My skin blistered and peeled before it grew back. That was the worst part of it.

I recommend a little dose of cancer to anyone.

In mid-July 2007, after a routine mammogram, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As cancer diagnoses go, mine wasn't particularly scary. The affected area was small, and the surgeon seemed to think that a lumpectomy followed by radiation would eradicate the cancerous tissue.

I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health.

Cancer is a scary thing and you have to deal with it seriously.
