One can plan one's life around chemotherapy treatments because the body reacts similarly after each treatment.

 



I mean that's the good thing, if you like, about cancer and the treatment of chemotherapy is that everything has a time limit. You know exactly when you're having your treatment, you know you might feel poorly for three or four days afterwards but you know after that you'll feel fine, so you can plan your life to work round it. The same as avoiding busy places when your blood count is low, you know, don't go shopping on a Saturday afternoon, but you can go at a quieter time.
