Watching the chemo was difficult

We talked to two oncologists and they both recommended standard chemotherapy. I ended up getting the combination of two medications. One of the hardest things for me was literally watching the chemotherapy go into my vein. You know, watching this red stuff go in and knowing that its literally poison. Although I sometimes drink from styrofoam cups and eat red meat, I've tried to live a fairly health lifestyle, and the idea of deliberately putting these incredibly powerful toxic substances into my body - that was really hard, emotionally. Even though intellectually I knew it was what I had to do.
