Several years ago I went through chemotherapy for reast cancer.
Depending on the chemo you are taking, there are a myriad of side
effects - some documented in the literature, and others that seem unique
to the individual. IT got to the point where I told my doctor that I
was going to blame anything that went wrong with me physically on the
treatments, including getting hit by a truck. Then one of the women in
my support group got dizzy and disoriented and did step in front of a
truck. (She had a bummer of a leg injury, but recovered.) No
particular reason for that little program, just all the talk of side
effects stirred the memory.
