This was a very interesting article; GOLD & tea together! I Love the passengers/limo/tumor analogy! The 3rd paragraph quote "However, while the chemicals help to shrink tumors, they also spread throughout other parts of the body, harming vital organs and causing various adverse health effects." reminded me of the MOST Emotionally painful moment of my chemo. treatment for stage FOUR Lymphoma - hair loss! We transformed it into a positive experience though by ordering many different wigs (different colors, lengths, and styles), and took pictures of me trying them on. We had an "Online Facebook Fashion Show" sharing all these pic's. letting my Friends "Like" & comment showing their support & encouragement for me. This helped me & them with knowing how I was handling cancer at age 33 and how they might respond (with humor). My name's Joy, so I've gone onto found "Cancer with Joy," literally & figuratively helping others from diagnosis through treatment. I co-wrote a song called "Bright Side Effects," finding the "Bright Side" of all the negative "side effects" this article talks about as part of chemo. & cancer treatment (For example, when I was bald I had "SMOOTH Legs!" The hair wasn't growing back on top of my bald head, but it also wasn't growing back on my legs & I didn't have to shave!!) You can see the Music Video (including some of the pic's. from my "Facebook Fashion Show!") here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5t0DdNXOPE&list=UU3YmeKxlIFFUjzqvmNNaAgw&index=5&feature=plcp
