It is with a much sadness that I let you know that Patty passed away December 27, 2013. The Chemo Diaries was started by Patty Kuzara, and it was her way to get through the fight, while hoping to help others fighting this HORRIBLE disease. My family wishes to thank everyone who followed Patty’s journey [...]
From the beginning of this cancer journey its been Prayers for Patty, Kickin’ Cancer’s Dupa. Well, a couple months ago I started experiencing pain on my dupa. It was pretty sore any time I would sit on it. I thought perhaps I was developing a bed sore, but it didn’t make any sense. I had [...]
