Put Away the Big Guns!

The chemo treatments that I have received are considered the "Big Guns" of chemo.  This is a standard treatment for "Front-Line" chemo (first treatment).  If the cancer recurs then the doctor said that he would use more targeted therapies.  At this point many people hope to get into a clinical trial. 

Chemo stays in your body for quite some time and many patient report lingering side effects for up to 2 years.  Some side effects are permanent.  I hope the neuropathy in my fingers and toes goes away soon.

Since I am claiming myself as cured, I am not worried about a recurrence.  I just have to shake off that very LAST chemo treatment that I had two weeks ago.
