To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.
Marianne Faithfull

10 QUOTES WITH «CHEMO»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word chemo.
1
Sarah Addison Allen
Doctors say there's no such thing as chemo brain, but ask any chemo patient.
2
Geraldine Brooks
For most people, chemotherapy is no longer the chamber of horrors we often conceive it to be. Yes, it is an ordeal for some people, but it wasn't for me, nor for most of the patients I got to know during my four months of periodic visits to the chemo suite.
3
Homaro Cantu
The interesting thing about the miracle berry in chemo patients is that it actually straightens out their taste buds, whereas for you and I, it blocks our bitter and sour receptors. For them, it straightens them out to taste food as it normally tastes.
4
Eric Davis
I will be a role model for cancer patients for the rest of my life. But you know what? When I was getting chemo, those people inspired me.
5
Marianne Faithfull
To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.
6
Amy Hoggart
The thing with cancer is that it's usually the chemo rather than the disease itself that makes the patient feel so ill, particularly at the start.
7
Sharon Jones
For me, music is my joy. It's my happiness. As long as this medicine, this chemo is in my body, I didn't have my love, my joy.
8
Chuck Pagano
You have some dark days and dark moments going through chemo and things like that.
9
Chuck Pagano
When you get chemo, some people get a lot of sores in their mouth and even their esophagus, so they chew on ice; thank God that didn't happen with me.
10
Amy Robach
When I first sat down with my oncologist the day before Thanksgiving, and she told me I would need 8 rounds of chemo, one of my first questions admittedly was: 'Will I lose my hair?' It sounds shallow, I know, but it was a very scary image to me.
