It does seem that the treatment is just as bad if not  much worse than the

I haven't heard anything today!
Thanks for praying!

Dear Rhonda,

Oh! Loving! Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm praying for Christian.

Some times the chemo is worse than the cancer itself.

I'm praying for you also.

Please keep us informed.

Love you!
