Hi everyone, let me start by sharing a personal win - as of April 2025 I've completed my treatment and I officially have a status of a healthy patient, under observation. Saying that, as a way of doing something creative and maybe treating it as my personal therapy I decided to write a lighthearted something (maybe book?) whose characters are going through chemo and treatment.
As English is not my first language though, and I did decide to write in English as a way to gain distance, perhaps, I wanted to ask you about any everyday, non-professional, non-medical dictionary vocabulary that you was used / you used in your chemo session. Anything to name the place where the IV was inserted, maybe some slangish words the nurses used or generally some words you could / can hear repeating themselves during treatment. I realize that's an unorthodox request, but hopefully someone can share :) Thank you in advance!
