Chemotherapy Reviews
Working / Worked
It worked. The had to keep kick-starting my immune system and I had lots of blood transfusions. I had various side effects and at one point was taking five meds, each one to offset the side effects of the one prior. With all of that going on there was so much drama that I stopped watching cable. ;-)
