They're labeled on the sides? Look up a gantt chart and turn your head 90 degrees, same concept

EDIT: I'm convinced these people are trolling?! How are you confused, my guy? The lines are duration, there is labels on the side that tell you what each line means, the colors are to seperate the lines.

Really puts things in perspective. That's a lot of time spent at the hospital. I know from personal experience that the hospital sucks. The food sucks. The beds suck. The noise sucks. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It must have been terrifying. But, you're still around and that's what matters. I wish you the best of luck. Kick cancers ass!!

Cheers, I've tried to explain to my friends and family that even though I did chemo, mastectomy, and reconstruction (no rads in my case) in 2019-2020, I am still being treated with tamoxifen, and because I am BRCA2+ I have a lot more surgeries ahead. They often congratulate me on being "done" and "beating cancer" but it is a constant, ongoing process that still means I am at the hospital for scans and checkups 6 times a year. All the best to you.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but your depiction of your treatment over 3 years is spectacular! Seriously, I work in clinical research and it's very hard to depict multiple lines of therapy over a long period of time. Very nice!
