UPDATE: CHEMO FREE!

I hope that your Thanksgiving was a joyful one filled with family and gratitudes as mine was. The list of what I am grateful for is growing daily, especially since my health has been steadily improving. My immune system is no longer compromised by poisonous chemotherapy, the last treatment was Oct. 16th. That one dose of the new regime of Adriomycin and Cytoxin made me almost totally bald, and I was exhausted for more than a week after. It did probably help in reducing the size of the neck lymph node swelling, but I also believe the determination of both my sons and husband to make me well served a bigger part. They made sure I was getting my greens in every form and application possible, as well as hydration, rest, and love. They are my heroes! I am finally able to sleep flat again, (had been using 4 pillows for elevation due to the swelling of my face and head). My face is back to normal, no more swelling, and the Bells Palsy is gone, ( I can move the right side of my face again, no longer looking like a stroke victim)! Both of my sons provided me with a better juicer and check on me and my "ph" daily. My husband takes care of our wheatgrass production and juicing. My strength and energy levels are back to normal, so much so that I did the prep housecleaning and meal for our "Veggie" Thanksgiving. I then accompanied my husband to visit his family for the holiday. It was a 3hr. car ride and we stayed over night at his mom's. Why I am telling you all this is to give you a background of the stress I put on myself along with a little cheating at his mom's holiday dinner, and how it took it's toll on me. I also did not totally comply with the health regime that I have been on---but we are talking about a 24 hr. period only! The lymph nodes in my neck started swelling some, and I experienced a lot of upper chest tissue burning again. This was Friday and Saturday, by Sunday morning I was better again. What did I do to help the situation? 3 glasses of 1tsp baking soda and 1 cup of water each day, back on the regular amount of green juices and wheatgrass, better rest, and back to exercising. I was amazed how sensitive my body is to varying even slightly from the health protocol I have been on. I suppose this is how it will be until I am completely healed. The body is an intricate system that can usually handle a great deal of abuse and stress, but when it's not already handling a major battle. So I will continue to do my part to take care of it so it will take care of me. I am grateful!
