I agree with everything ireno's post. Besides, chemo isn't exactly over-the-counter medication anyway so you'd have to go to the doctor for it. Do you even know if you have cancer? Unless you've been seen by a doctor and had a surgical biopsy, you can't know. Needles are a fact of life when you're sick. Better than suffering something possibly much more uncomfortable.

Yikes! Please don't try this. I'd rather deal with doctor visits (which I detest) than die sooner than necessary. It's like trying to do surgery on yourself because you don't like hospitals. It's not going to work well.
