It is very easy for me to imagine in 200 years, people looking back at chemotherapy as proof that people of the 20th century were insane and just morons.
I had a prostatectomy in the fall and fortunately it was encapsulated and I didn't have to go through chemotherapy.
I have leukemia, and my chemotherapy has destroyed my immune system.

I'm happy to tell you that having been through surgery and chemotherapy and radiation, breast cancer is officially behind me. I feel absolutely great and I am raring to go.

The bracelet says 'Fear Nothing. ' It was given to me by my friends, and it was made for me and my friends during the period of time that I was going through chemotherapy.
