Multiple Choice
Directions:  Circle the best answer to complete the sentence below.

I have five (5) more days before ______________________________________.

A.  some horribly toxic drugs will flow through my veins, bringing unknown nasty side effects.
B.  the miracles of medical science will be put to work, sending an army of cancer-killing warriors on the hunt for rogue bad guys in my body.

Correct Answer:  B

A special friend and fellow PINK SISTER (she's really more of a guide and role model) told me she actually looks forward to her chemo sessions because she knows they're making her cancer-free!  She suggested I visualize the poison medicine working in my body, helping it do its job.

Think I'll try it
