A close friend. In the end she decided the chemo was killing her, and destroying her mind. It had caused a stroke. Sadly she died, but more at peace with it the chemo - it had also fed an undetected breast cancer

@SW-User yeah that's why im against chemo. Sometimes it could kill the person before they would even die of the cancer

@Motleycrue667 It did cause the stroke. She was being treated for ovarian cancer, and the treatment fed the breast cancer :(
