It is starting out as a nice day. Saturdays often invoke upbeat feelings for me. Especially sunny summer ones. It is three days since I found out the results of my CT scan. What a roller coaster week! The cancer isn't gone, but the tumors are less numerous, and they have reduced in size. So the second horrible five months of chemo that I just went through is working, but apparently I need more horrible months of chemo. Okay, I know that I should be thankful that it works. And, it is better than being told that there's nothing more they can do. BUT - I really didn't want to go through more chemo. The doctor is reducing my dosage slightly so that I don't have to have three days of infusion per treatment, just two. And, she is changing the drug so that I won't be sick constantly and I won't have such strong neuropathy. And, I won't have to have three days of IV fluids after each week of treatment. So those are all good things. And, I don't have to start it up again until August.
That means in July, I plan to explore alternative methods. If anyone knows of anything (that isn't painful) please let me know. I'm already working on Ayurvedic healing and I plan to visit a Reiki master. We'll see how all of this goes.
