Chemo: Will you dance in the rain?

Let me explain, I’ll get around to the dancing in the rain part. Janie started her chemo as any brave soldier would. But there are time, there will be times when you panic. Janie’s moment was when she took her pony tail out and lots of hair came with it. She reached out to a family member who had been through chemo and was told “If you shave your head, you are in the control and not the chemo.” I have seen video after video of patients pulling their hair out, literally. Take charge and tell your head what it will do. Shave and take control. That’s what Janie did and even though it was difficult, she focused on the positive. Watch funny movies while getting chemo….  read “Nordie’s at Noon” a great book. It wasn’t until half way through her chemo treatments that Janie realized this could actually kill her. But she decided to live by this saying and I think we should all do it.  LIFE ISN’T ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM, BUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!
