CONFESSIONS OF A CANCER PATIENT The realities of chemo. Uncensored & uncut.09/04/2019
Quite a few people asked me while on chemo “what is it like? What is it REALLY like?”. All they seemed to know about chemo was nausea and head hair loss, and they were genuinely interested as to what I was experiencing. My response usually was, "indescribably awful”. But it got me thinking. I figured that no one wants to hear the horror stories of cancer, or how hard it is, we all want the happy-endings and to know it’s all okay. But the amount of people who really wanted that dose of reality got me thinking that perhaps more of us than I originally thought want the other side of it all too, the un-fluffy, uncensored, harsh reality.
