Despite the emergence of targeted drugs and recent advances in immunotherapy, chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of treatment for many people with cancer [1]. Unfortunately, the side effects of chemotherapy can have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL) [1,2].

School is out and summer is officially on its way! That means it is time to enjoy a good book! While it is important for kids to read some during the summer to keep up their school progress, it is equally important for mom to be able to kick back and enjoy some quality reading time as well.

One of my favorite places to be is the beach. Every year our extended family gets together and heads to the Gulf Coast of Florida. Over the years, we have visited many of the beautiful beaches along the Emerald Coast and the popular highway 30A. With most of the beaches within a 7-hour drive of Atlanta, it is well worth the trip for a week at the beach. The Best Beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast Destin Destin is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Florida.
