What they don't tell you

Warning: The following may contain too much information for the squeamish.

It ain't the big things that are always the most frustrating with cancer. Sometimes, it's the little side effects they just kind of gloss over that cause the most problems. Like, for instance, that the chemo drugs also kill the bacteria in your digestive system. I've had constipation and diarrhea in the same day. Heartburn is frequent. I wouldn't have to worry about the predicted cost increases if I could only figure a way to heat my home with my own gas. You get the idea.

Just had to get that out. As you were.
