Sorry to post a little TMI about the lymphoma battle scene...but there are a series of side effects that just ain't funny. Constipation for one (sorry, but that is like the worst toxic poisoning effect you can imagine and if it hasn't happened to you in a major way then just thank your freakin lucky stars.) My Mom has been sending me The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books (reminding me that I need to return them when she has cancer - really Mom!!) and there was the greatest passage (sorry no pun intended) on the topic. Precious Ramotswe (main character) reflects on what she might have to be embarrassed about:
"Now constipation was quite a different matter. It would be dreadful for the whole world to know about troubles of that nature. She felt terrible sorry for people who suffered from constipation, and she knew that there many who did. There were probably enough of them to form a political party - with a chance of government perhaps - but what would such a party do if it was in power? Nothing, she imagined. It would try to pass legislation, but would fail."
Seriously funny reading...
I love those books. I have read all of them. Enjoy!
