Chemotherapy Quotes
-
I really believe that is helping people. I've been talking to oncologists about how we can re-frame and re-think the chemo process, so it becomes a much more spiritual, psychological journey. Where people really could burn away what needs to be burned away. It's happening anyway. Why not frame it in a psychological way where it can serve as a transformation?

These are drugs important in routines of chemotherapy for treating Hodgkin's disease and certain forms of leukemia.
