BadBabs

Hi BadBabs, I love the name by the way! So wonderful that you have so many nieces and nephews, that is fun. And the chemo isn't that bad, I never got sick enough to throw up only a little nauseous at times because the anti-nausea medications now are just great. And I slept through most of it as well, the memory is only a blur to me now. Just let yourself rest and recover, you will get through it just fine. Good luck to you and god bless!

Treatment varies. I had two types of cancer and it had already spread (automatically made me stage IV). I was pretty sick before I finally went to the doctor. I actually had chemotherapy first-1 treatment every 3weeks for a total of 6 treatments. I then had surgery. While recovering, found out the cancer had gone to my brain. Now recovering from brain surgery and radiation.
