Brutally Honest post

Warning - this post may contain subject matter of a offensive naure to some. However, I told you dear readers that I would blog about my journey, and I wouldn't be completely honest otherwise if I didn't share this.

The truth is, diarrhea is a constant companion. If I don't hit the bathroom at least  four times a day it is unusual. There is a great line by Morgan Freeman in the movie "The Bucket List" when he talks about getting old. And, it applies to chemo treatments also. The line was "Never trust a fart!". That has become my daily motto. Its hard to tell whether you are safe or break and run for the toilet.

Also, there is no sneaking a fart anymore. Chemo kills cells, so passing gas will slay the room and peel paint off the walls! It is the smell of death! If you are unlucky enough to let one go on an elevator, the passengers may suffocate before the ground floor!

This has been a big source of embarrasment for me, and I am actually leary of crowds. This side effect csnnot be helped, but others don't know that. It does take a lot of understanding from friends and family, though.

There, I told you this post would be brutally honest. But, as I said, it has become a part of daily life.
