Cancergiggles is an idiot's guide to accepting, living with, laughing at and dying from cancer. The very, very last bit I can't be absolutely sure of, but then who the hell can? I could have written some beautifully crafted, grammatically correct essays but I hope you will understand, that when I say "I don't have a lot of time" I mean it far more literally than you do. I just wanted scribble a few thoughts to maybe light a spark in people - and then it became a book about Cancer, Life, Death, Illness and Politics. ISBN 0955198801

THE PILLS

THE PILLS

So now I’m on chemo for wimps.  This stuff doesn’t involve needles, pumps or other intro devices and is apparently far less aggressive than many of the treatments.  Twice a day, you take 5 pills which are modelled on, but only two thirds the size of a typhoon class submarine.  Apart from the previously mentioned possible side effects it’s really easy and means you don’t have to sit in the clinic looking like an experiment.  This I have done - it saved my life and in truth was remarkably easy for me but I know it’s really hard on some people - I’ve been very lucky.

I am the most laid back person who is still breathing but these pills can make you a bit intolerant of stupidity, ignorance, ugliness, rudeness, bigotry, lack of consideration, untidiness, sheep, incompetence, ineptitude, narrow mindedness and discourtesy.  I just thought I would mention it.
