Eric Berry Quotes

You have some dark days and dark moments going through chemo and things like that.

Did I still feel like I'd been run over by a Mack Truck? Absolutely. It's chemo, after all.

Chemo is properly punishing, and it's hard to do things at the usual level.

Chemo is awful!

Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.

When you are doing chemo, you have a load of time.

I'd just lie around all day. It's the chemo, the poison they pump into you. Sometimes I'd be walking across the room and think, 'There it is; I got to rest.' And I had to, right then.

Before he died, my dad had three primary cancers over 20 years, and for four of those years, he was having chemo every day. We got used to sitting as a family at the table and him not to be able to taste what we were tasting.

Two days after the chemo I felt terrible, like I had a permanent migraine and had been shot in every limb. I was knackered, starving. The doctor explained that was because I had essentially been poisoned.

When I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I'm in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn't feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.

I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn't know. I really didn't get any nausea. I didn't have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half.

I couldn't possibly lead the kind of life I lead, and keep the schedule that I do, having radiation or chemotherapy.

The thing with cancer is that it's usually the chemo rather than the disease itself that makes the patient feel so ill, particularly at the start.

Chemotherapy isn't good for you. So when you feel bad, as I am feeling now, you think, 'Well that is a good thing because it's supposed to be poison. If it's making the tumor feel this queasy, then I'm OK with it.'

Chemotherapy takes its toll; the more you keep doing it, you lose your energy, and it gets more difficult to swallow.

Cancer is my own private war. The strain, the nausea, the fever take turns challenging my strength, my mind and my spirit.

If I was at the club you know I balled(bald), CHEMO.

I didn't have chemo.

You don't have free will when you have lung cancer.

Chemotherapy isn't good for you.

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

After two rounds of chemo, I've started to notice, slowly, but surely, my hair has started to appear more regularly in my shower drain, sink drain, pillowcase and comb.

Everything on my body turned real dark. My toes, under my feet, inside my mouth, under my tongue - I just turned really dark. I'm still here, but it's gonna take a while to get back to normal. Chemo kills all the good cells along with the bad.

Chemotherapy tests your sanity.

I'm taking special treatments for the cancer in my brain and in my liver. Part of the liver was removed, and they did the treatment on four places in my brain with radiation. And now I'm taking a long-term medicine that stimulates my own immune system to fight against cancer.
