Oh Kevin & Sue,
I am so sorry to hear of what your experience has been-- poor Sue, that all sounds so unpleasant and awful and at least, knock wood, the worst is over.
Thank you for checking-in. And you are very correct, the internet can be informative in a situation like ours, but it can also fuel fires and plant the seeds of anxiety. It isn't always easy to find a happy-medium, but this site comes very close.
All the best, and good luck with the rest of the chemo ride.
Jen
