Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): When I was diagnosed at 58 years of age, I was dumb founded. I was so upset, my body would not take the Chemo drug, so they had to give me 4 different kinds of Chemo drugs, but it also took 2 settings. I was so uninformed of what was going on I was scared. No one explained to me anything except I had 2 to 5 years to live. (it's been 8). I didn't want to talk to anyone or share, or hear someone's else's experience. I closed myself off, it was easy to do since I lived alone. Chemo scared me, I watched my Mom go thru this till she died. Now I was going to be like her, get sick, loose my hair, loose weight, friends feel sorry for you. Then I changed my mind and attitude. I started laughing again, thinking positive, go thru Chemo treatments. That is why I'm still here, not from what the Doctor told me. I didn't get sick, I didn't loose my hair, and I didn't loose weight. I did not do what Dr, and books say I would. I feel that because I do laugh a lot, and I do feel positive. The day God put me here, he knew how and when I'm leaving.
