Chemotherapy isn't good for you.

Chemotherapy is an opponent in itself - simultaneously curing you and hurting you.

Chemotherapy is such a hard, hard kiss. Anything we can do to alleviate its side effects should be intelligently explored with an open mind.

Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

Chemotherapy isn't good for you. So when you feel bad, as I am feeling now, you think, 'Well that is a good thing because it's supposed to be poison. If it's making the tumor feel this queasy, then I'm OK with it.'

My goal is to see that mental illness is treated like cancer.

Chemotherapy takes its toll; the more you keep doing it, you lose your energy, and it gets more difficult to swallow.

I used to take someone with me for the chemotherapy so I could do jokes. You always try and find something absurd.

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.
