"Update", after chemo # 7, and Giving Thanks!

Good Morning! It is a beautiful Sunday and I, as always give thanks that I am alive and well to enjoy another blessed day! I had my 7th chemotherapy treatment a couple of days ago, and am still feeling improvement without side effects. I saw the oncologist on the same day, and he was amazed at the quick reduction in my "lumps", that my lab work still looks great, and that I was smiling--alot, and looked so vibrant! He said that most of his patients need some type of intervention by now in regards to red and white blood cell count, and wanted to know what I am doing to keep myself so healthy. This time, he really listened to what I had to say about the role that proper nutrition--including the wheatgrass juicing that I was doing, he even asked additional questions! See website; http://www.healfastwithgrass.com/. The doctor did suggest that I may need to be on chemotherapy long term, possibly years, due to the inoperable and the extent of the cancer, but I know that once the neck, chest, and breast tumors have shrunk enough, my immune system will reverse the rest. I will not go beyond where the chemotherapy would start doing more harm than good. I have also increased my exercising, something not easily done for me---but I really do feel better after! The peace and general love that I am feeling is so uplifting! It increases my health and positive attitude by leaps, so the more I put out of these elements, the better I am! It also reflects in those around me, they also seem more at peace and happier! "Be the change that you want to see in the world"! I will leave you with a couple of quotes that I like, have a great healthy day, give thanks, and smile---alot!

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. -Ghandi

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our sometimes- powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." -Henri Nouwen
