Gemzar and the Cancer Patient(s)

"Jem... Jem is excitement! Oooo Jem... Jem is adventure! Ooooo... Glamour and glitter, Fashion and fame!"
 If only chemotherapy came with a theme song.........

It would probably sound like this, "Gem.....Gemzar is excitement! Oooo  Gem...Gemzar is adventure! Oooo.....Hair loss and nausea, Skin rash and diarrhea! Gem is truly outrageous....."
Do you think Gemzar will make me a rockstar? I don't understand how toxins can sound so cool!

This new chemo actually doesn't have those bad side effects, but it is an IV. Boo.  Two weeks on, one week off, once a week. Well, the side effects of these chemos are all scary, but apparently this one isn't 'that bad.'  We shall see.

Oh and if you need to youtube Jem and the Holograms theme song, that's ok. I did too.
