Oh that's for sure. When I went to the hospital, I'd ask a friend to stock up on a lot of buds so when I got out, I could get plenty of relieve for the chemo sessions. It helps immensely and makes every aspect about cancer bearable. I'll never forget how chemo and being stuck practically destroy my veins. I opted not to have a port, or a mainline so I had to get sticked everyday. By the last cycle, I barely had any usable veins for chemo.

All I have left is one clean-up surgery, recovery from chemo brain, and a PET scan to determine if I'm cancer-free. Can't wait to close the page on this experience and have my hair grow back.

What type of cancer did you have if you don't mind me asking? I'm lucky I never had to go through radiation, how does it work and the side effects?
