Chemotherapy: Dracula's Castle
This was the third story of the series, and was probably the most difficult to complete. Getting chemo is not much fun, and going back to the office and logging the tape of having chemo is even less fun. It was like reliving the experience again.
The number one question that I received about having chemo was, "What does it feel like?" And truly, it doesn't feel like much of anything when you are getting an infusion. Sometimes, there's a slight burning in the vein, but that's about it. As I have mentioned before, most nurses recommend a port-a-cath for infusions and blood draws, which saves your veins. If I had it to do over again, I probably would do that. Hopefully, I will never have to do it over again. I had six chemotherapy sessions over 12 weeks. That's plenty for me in this lifetime.

Lieb,J."Defeating cancer with antidepresssants." ecancermedicalscience DOI.10.3332/eCMS.2008.88. The fourth of five review articles I have publishd since 2001. To verify, access Medline or Pubmed, and enter "antidepressants" and "cancer." Antidepressants can arrest a variety of cancers even in advanced stages, occasionally completely reverse them, and significantly extend life. That cancer is a hundred different diseases is pure propaganda; cancer is one disease, with a hundred variations. People lie, databases do not.

Bill,
The other night on the newscast the camera caught you leaving your chair, and then coming back again in frame. This was classic! Your expression was worthy of a DVR moment, and each time we watch it, we laugh hysterically!! Not at you, however, but the situation. I assume you remember it? Friday night...
