Chemotherapy Treatments At Night???


What cancer patient goes to have chemo treatments at night? I mean come on!
The character of Shelly doesn't seem to any physical side effects either.

I found that strange, too. Having been a cancer patient myself, I wasn't nearly so beefy and spry as ol' Shelley. I spent many a day with my head in the toilet after chemo, and lost lots of weight.

I wouldn't think he'd be able to perform sexually if he was that ill, either.




I need my 1987 DG20 Casio electric guitar set to mandolin, yeah...

He drinks heavily too, doesn't he? I'm sure that's a no-no, if not an impossibility.

I don't know about having chemo treatments at night unless there is some reason he could not do them during the day (maybe work, but it never shows him going to work). I have had experience with chemo myself and I can say there are many different types of chemo treatments for many different types of cancers. My chemo I had fifteen years ago made me feel tired and not well for a few days afterward, but I also had many days that I felt very well after the initial hard hit. I had chemo every 2 weeks for 6 months and while I did not lose all of my hair, I did lose a fair portion of it but did not lose weight nor become nauseous at all (which was probably due to the anti-nausea medication given along with my chemo treatments).

Just saying with so many different treatments available and that side effects also depend strongly on the individual's own physiology and physical condition prior to beginning chemo, etc. not everyone will have the same side effects -- just throwing in my two cents worth at a very late date.
