I did not know about the Wayback Machine until today. Am I the last to know?

I found this Q and A in an article about cancer treatment. I laughed and laughed at the understatement
"So, now the second question, "Why does the word chemotherapy almost always evoke a negative response?" Part of the answer is easy. Most of the cytotoxic chemotherapies are associated with (ob) noxious side effects: profound nausea and vomiting; loss of hair; significant weakness; marked increase in susceptibility to infection, etc. "
I think it is at least as funny as the ancient chicken joke "why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side."
And that why I am having chemo and radiation, too.
Next week I look forward to radiation every week day, a blood panel and meeting with the oncologist and surgeon.
