Today I had a conversation with my Oncologist during an office visit.
My Oncologist tells me that "I am well and the reason I am doing chemo is so that I will stay well."
(The malignancy was removed surgically, and the chemo is for the purpose of sweeping up any microscopic leftovers. After surgery I was declared NED meaning "No Evidence of Disease." There is a very good chance already that there are no leftovers, nonetheless this is being done to insure that. However the chemo treatments I am undergoing are the same strength as anyone else would get. For a young and otherwise healthy person, the dose is as high as it can be.)
