Drug or Chemo Therapy
They say if you have to have chemotherapy this is the way to go. I don't think there is any good form of chemo to take. Temador is a pill form of chemo and goes directly to the brain. It's awful and the smell and taste is enough to make anyone gag. I feel like a biohazard the way Oncomed sends me these meds....individually wrapped and counted...5 days on and 3 weeks off. I'm also on 2 anti nausea meds and a steroid to help with the nausea. I call the dethomex my monster steroid because I turn into a raging bulimic when I take it. All binge and no purge. I can do this.
