Kemosabe

In contemplating chemotherapy the irony and dichotomy of it is so strong to me, as posted earlier about living healthy organic life, and allowing someone to put poison in my veins to keep me alive. Is this really therapy? What does it do? Chemical therapy? who came up with this concept? But trying to find something I could live with, and I keep thinking of kemo-sabe, in part because it is amusing, and in part because it allows me to think of Tonto and the lone ranger, on their horses riding into the sunset, not sitting in the hospital surrounded by other horribly sick people trying to stay alive. Is this a trusted friend? Isn't that what kemosabe is supposed to mean? It isn't really from native american languages. When I research it, it comes up from a summer camp the writer of the lone ranger series went to as a child. At least camp is happy and safe and even fun (at least I found them that way), not like hospitals which are tiring and scary. This will be a learning process to find that this is a trusted friend who will save my life.
