chemotherapy

I just bought a vinyl saying for the back of my van. Pictures to come of that...it says, "leukemia sucks."
Sucks is not a word we use in our family, but it is the least offensive word to describe leukemia and chemotherapy.

So far, I have learned that chemotherapy is administered in at least four ways: oral (pills or liquid), through the central line or IV, needle injection into the spinal fluid, and needle injection into muscle.

All of them are awful, but necessary.
