Chemo does affect the brain. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! My first encounter with the big C was in 2005. (and they gave me less than 5 years! HA!) Laid-up a lot. Television sucked, until I found NLHU touneys. Many of the well-knowns were just starting out. When I found on-line poker, Pot Odds, betting position, and moves from others became goals to learn and great distractions! It's so interesting to see the changes in cancer treatments. All of those involved, Dr.s, nurses, janitors, and especially patients are so frigging NICE, HELPFULL, FRIENDLY! My Motto "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." REALLY!!
