I had a revelation of sorts while waiting with Elizabeth in the Chemo room. I looked over at her sitting in the chair with these powerful drugs dripping into her body and realized that chemo isn’t evil; chemo is good.
Chemo is a dreaded experience, one that most people will avoid at any cost. The negative side effects are discussed over and over. Everyone is aware of them. Every Doctor and every Nurse we talk to is constantly warning us about the problems that may develop. No one has spent any time telling us about all the good that will be done. We never hear how these drugs attack the fast growing cancer cells and destroy them. How the tumor inside her body will be eaten away. I find it very odd that chemo is looked upon so negatively. It needs some positive pr. Chemotherapy: happily killing cancer cells 24/7.

You need to send your ideas to the Chemotherapy Council. They're prior campaign "Got Chemo?" was a big flop.
