I danced through chemo and radiation cycles, much to the dismay of my oncologist.

In my second chemo, my mother got very sick and I went to see her.

All the oncologists suggested chemo prior to surgery and the surgeons suggested the other way around.

And my reward for surviving it was to go back for four more months of chemo.
