My name is Bill. I live in lovely Portland, Tennessee. I had my last induction chemo treatment yesterday and start radiation/chemo in two weeks. I made it through better than I had hoped for so far and my Doctor tells me I am the "poster child" for cancer treatment so far. I know the worst is yet to come, but I think I will do fine through it as well as I have many good people praying for me and Doctors I have all the trust in the world in.

The information here will help you understand the process, the emotions and the physical symptoms you will feel as you travel the road ahead. Best wishes, I hope you truly are the poster child!!!
