Is chemotherapy really good for our health?

Tweet

I had my 6 sessions of chemotherapy last 2005. I had to undergo chemo since my lump on my left breast was 6 cm in diameter. My first session was on June 30 and the last session was on Nov. 15. The procedure was done every 3rd week of the month. On the first session,I started to lose my hair. My 3rd & 4th sessions were postponed due to my low blood. My oncologist informed me if my blood is still low the next month, I have to undergo blood transfusion. I was so scared because I know the side effects of blood transfusion. So what I did I ate a lot sweet potato's leaves. The next blood test was great! I regain my hemoglobin level. The worst session was my 2nd to the last. The night of Oct 15, I felt I was going to die. I had so many bad side effects. I had severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, lost my appetite, lost so much weight & diarrhea. I was so weak. I could not get up from my bed. I even saw my deceased mom's face smiling at me. So I called her to tell her I would like to go with her since I couldn't bear the side effects anymore. But she didn't oblige to my request. The next day I did my best to get up & go to mass in a wheel chair at 9:30am. The mass was almost halfway still I stayed & listened to the priest's sermon. I was able to finish the whole mass. As I leave the church, I felt strong. God heard my fervent prayer. IT'S A MIRACLE! Because of the HOLY HOST I received, I regained my strentgh. My last session was fine. No too much of the side effects. I learned from my oncologist that chemo attacks good & bad cells that is why my immune system had gone down--couldn't control the side effects. The chemo has NO ASSURANCE of cure & non-recurrence of the tumor. That is true because last month I have to undergo chemo but I opted not to. I had my WORST EXPERIENCE with chemo. Still under medication & recuperating from this big C.
