Chemotherapy is your weapon.
The term "chemotherapy" may raise many images in your mind, possibly some
of them quite frightening. That's why it's important to know that chemotherapy
is your powerful weapon in the fight against cancer.
Great strides have been made in the recent past toward making your journey
through treatment much smoother, both physically and emotionally. Breakthroughs
have also improved the effectiveness of treatment, increasing the odds
of success.
It's been said that chemotherapy is the treatment that can make you feel
sick in order to get better. That is because chemotherapy cannot tell the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells. Please keep in mind that the discomforts
are usually temporary and the rewards can be great.
Learning all you can about the facts of treatment and becoming an active
partner in your own care are the best ways to overcome any concerns and
to empower yourself in the process of getting well.
