This morning my good friend, Roberta, is taking me to church with her. I'm really excited, haven't had a regular church to go to in many years. I hope it's a good fit and I feel comfortable enough to attend on a regular basis, that would be great.
Wow, yesterday I had no energy all day, it was awful. So much so that I felt like I was in a daze, maybe even a light drunk feeling. At one point I ventured out to the store (not a good decision), but Jordan was with me. The reason I said not a good decision was because it took me like 45 minutes to pick up 4 items! I kept getting really distracted and I was moving in slow motion. Although Jordan thought it to be hilarious, I didn't. Don't worry, I won't drive like that again, it could have been dangerous. I sure hope today is better. We've been invited to go to dinner at Frank and Monica's house, but that's not until later, so we'll see how that goes.
I never made it to the Wig Shoppe yesterday :( I called the lady at the shop and she said that although it was set up through the American Cancer Society, that I can come in at any point. I'm gonna shoot for sometime this coming week, maybe I won't be so drained and I can start looking for wigs.
And lastly, I don't think I've really updated everyone on my most recent diagnosis. Those of you who I hadn't personally told only knows of the breast cancer. However, on 11/18 (the day before my first chemotherapy treatment) my Oncologist, Dr. Hui, informed me that the cancer had spread. It's now at stage 4, and extensively in my bones. It's near my spine, in my tailbone, in multiple vertebrae, in my liver, lymph nodes and glands. So whenever I mention bone aches, this is why. However, I'm going to be okay. It sounds a whole lot worse than how I'm feeling.
Remember...I BELIEVE in the power of positive thinking and God has really been answering my prayers lately. It's amazing how much so. So please continue to pray for me and think positive, healthy thoughts because that's what you can do for me.
Love to you all, Genie ♥

a few things:
ReplyDelete1. The impact of exercise is potentially great. I know this can be easier said than done but true nonetheless.
2. Weight loss can also be a great help, if at all needed and within reason.
3. Be very conservative regarding supplements. But, there are some which may be very helpful. Examples, curcumin, green tea. Don't assume that
the more antioxidants, the better. The biochemistry is a lot more complex than that. Example: soy isoflavones may be of benefit for
prostate cancer and may aid the spread of breast cancer. I got that from the internet... :)
4. Check into some recent studies regarding the role of cholesterol in cancer progression. Starting to look like the lower, the better.
5. Have you teeth cleaned.
Have a look at 2 books:
Anticancer - written by a French psychiatrist who had brain cancer, beat
it, had it recur, and beat it again.
Surviving the Cancer System.
