A friend of mine in MS1 has cervical cancer. She was diagnosed last May, had an ovary removed and went into remission. She had a resurgence of the disease in September, and is currently undergoing six week rounds of radiotherapy.
Nobody else in the class knows, and she refuses to get chemo because it'll make all her hair fall out! I think she's fantastic - she occassionally goes to the hospital for an IV of dextrose and antibiotics at 6am, and is beside me studying in the library at 9! She's amazing....
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience? Any thoughts?
