9. I read once that chemo is like fighting a war

and a full scale battle and radiation is like a skirmish. Toward the end I was so weak I couldn't drive anymore as I didn't have enough strength in my legs to brake the car. They also used to tell me to visualize me getting rid of the cancer while I was getting treatment. No matter what I tried I always saw David Carridine betting the cancer with Kung Fu. Looking back it may have been silly but it did help.
