This following website is a great one for those on treatment or thinking about starting treatment. It is written by two very creative and witty women who share their experiences and suggestions on how to deal with the side effects of treatment. In their own words:
"We are not suggesting that you take our advice over any given by a physician, homeopath, nutritionist, or anyone with a medical degree. These are only suggestions given with the best of intentions, along with our own wicked, twisted brand of (drug induced) humor. Lord knows, we need a laugh when we are on this stuff!"
