"Update" after treatment #8, and Idle minds

Today was my eighth chemotherapy treatment, and all is still well! I went into treatment today a little despondent due to the lump on the right side of my neck and the one under my chin still so apparent and it's "pulling" nature. But when I viewed the tumor markers that were drawn last week, it showed drastic reduction in the amount /size of tumors. The numbers are still somewhat above the norm, but with significant reduction in results! My hemoglobin and hematacrit; the oxygen carrying red blood cells, have increased back up to 12.2/35.9, their lowest only being 11.5/33.8! The white blood cells staying between 8-10-very good. Oncology measures my immune system by a calculation called an ANC, they want the results to stay above 1,500, mine have stayed between 6,343 to 8,190! Chemo can deplete your platelets-which aid in clotting, mine have stayed high! So why have I been feeling a little down lately? I'm sure that having too much time on my hands causes an idle mind--leading to mild depression over the whole aspect of me on chemo. But I have to look at the reality of what is happening cellular, my blood work remains great, the tumors are shrinking, I still feel good without any side-effects! Thanks be to God, and to the wheatgrass. Please do yourself a favor and view these websites to make a real change in your health: www.phsolutions4u.com and www.hippocratesgreenhouse.com, and http://www.healfastwithgrass.com/ As far as my idle mind and depression, I just have to keep working on it with excerpts like the following:
A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne, Creator of The Secret
"How do I stop my negative thoughts?" - is a question that I have been asked many times. If you have ever asked this question then you will feel such enormous relief in knowing the answer, because it is so simple. How do you stop negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!
When you try to stop negative thoughts, you are focusing on what you don't want - negative thoughts - and you will attract an abundance of them. They can never disappear if you are focused on them. The "stop" part is irrelevant - the negative thoughts are your focus. It doesn't matter if you are trying to stop negative thoughts or control them or push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more of them to you.
The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts! Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice to appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets, and the magnificent beauty of the day. Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things. Every time you say "Thank you" it is a good thought! As you plant more and more good thoughts, the negative thoughts will be wiped out. Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts, and what you focus on you attract.
So don't give any attention to negative thoughts. Don't worry about them. If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.
The more good thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be utterly transformed into all good. If you spend only one day speaking of good things and saying "Thank you" at every single opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will transform those seeds into a garden of paradise. How will the garden of paradise appear? As your life!
May the joy be with you,
Rhonda Byrne "The Secret"... bringing joy to billions
