Reflections on Chemotherapy

Storyteller: Laura Revels

Chemotherapy was one of the toughest things I have ever done in my life, and not one I would wish upon anyone else.  When I was diagnosed with cancer, I knew cancer treatments was not a walk in the park, but I wanted to know what that walk was like, I wanted to know what it really felt like...

I started searching, and could not find another Alaska Native or American Indian Woman's story on their dance with cancer.  When I know what I am up against, it helps lessen my fear.  I felt like I needed to share my story and help others understand what it felt like, just as I wanted to know when I was diagnosed.  I wanted to be able to help those who come after me, so hopefully, another woman wouldn't have to be scared all the time like I was.

Chemo was tough and I made it.
