Courtney, my friend with breast cancer, had her, I believe, 3rd chemo treatment yesterday. She goes down to a fancy-shmancy cancer center at Northwestern University for her chemo. As I understand it, she gets her own room and a nice view of the lakeshore out the window. Which sounds nice, I guess, but I imagine all she wants to do is hurl, anyway. Chemo does the same thing there as it does here. I suppose I regret a little bit that she’s not getting the great people watching that comes with community chemo (where everyone is all in one room), but she’s probably better off. You can compare my chemo experience to being a patient in M.A.S.H., and her’s to being a patient in Grey’s Anatomy. Well, either way, she’s still gonna want to puke, so what’s the difference (says the M.A.S.H. patient)?

She’s having many of the same problems I had when I went through chemo, and I think it’s nice for both of us to commiserate about it.

As I suspected, she’s a pretty tough chick.
