ChristineB, Susan, SABW, thank you. It was not an easy thing for a 'prude' like me to do.
I just finished an extensive taping for "The Doctors" which should be more clinical and in-depth, and less sensationalistic.
I come across as healthy and well, and yes I did tolerate treatment far better than most, but be assured that I tried to emphasize that there are people out there truly SUFFERING from not only this disease, but the permanent side effects that are lifelong. It's not over once you are in remission, this treatment stays with you.
