Well it has been a while, mostly because there has been nothing to report, except the daily weekly grind, and peaks and troughs of lethargy. I have been concentrating on my daughter, who has needed extra support. I have had to have an occupational therapist to assess her as it is believed that she has sensory processing issues, and I believe this is causing her anxiety at school, so it has been a costly but very worth it venture and we should be receiving the help that we need now. Anyway back to the blog......
I had my 6th Taxol Sess, (notice I am down with the 'cancer' lingo ) this time was really ok, I slept in the clinic and listened once again to my healing meditations. the staff are lovely but forgot to give me my steroids ( to stop a reaction to the chemo) luckily I remembered before I left the hospital and was able to get them, before I was taken home where I could collapse for the afternoon. my daughter and I have been nurturing our vegetable seeds with great vigour and she has enjoyed watching her pea shoots and rainbow chard shoot up, she has been checking their water and we have been discussing what the next stage is. It really warms my heart that she is getting involved with this I am determind to teach her how to grow food and look after the planet. We are going to do a beach clean on Sunday, to rid the beach of plastic, it's an event organised by the 'Surfers Against Sewage'. Plastic is a real problem in our seas and some of it that gets washed up dates back to the 60's and 70's!! imagine what the future holds regarding that.....Anyway sorry I am obviously going of on 'daughter' tangents today...back to cancer .......
I watched a documentary today called 'The Truth about Cancer' it was interesting (american) and gave great history regarding big pharma companies and the FDA in America, there is a vast conspiracy and the film explained all of it and where it had all come from, dating back to the second world war. It also travelled the world to interview nutrionalists and herbalists all who have Phd's and have studied cancer and alternative treatments. Some of it I lost interest in, but I guess it is part of a series of online films and it needed to lay the foundations for the rest of them. I am sceptical about totally going for alternative therapies but I definately see the place for nutrition and scientifically proven supplements. One thing the film threw up was a clinic in Mexico that specialises in alternative treatments, the laws there are relaxed and really exciting treatments can be tried. They have had amazing success rates, there is however a risk, you are trusting the doctors but in my mind I would be very willing to try this approach having had my life dose of some conventional treatments as a child. So I am investigating this, I have sent off a form for a free treatment plan (before the big bucks start getting mentioned). being a stage 4 cancer patient, I am doing everything I can to be around for my daughter as she grows and the idea of flying out to Mexico to be 'fixed' with natural stuff is quite appealing....The finances won't allow I am sure, but perhaps I could jump out of a plane and raise some funds....
I have a clinic appointment next week, I hope to find out when I will be scanned, as I am becoming anxious to know what is going on with the cancer blighters.
I have been monitoring my bloods weekly and keeping a record. My tumour marker went up from 11 to 13, which has spurred on this surge on new information regarding cancer and the formation from stem cells and how chemo works etc as it could be quite possible in the words of Richard Ashcroft, 'The drugs don't work'.....
