It's Going To Be A Good Day

Last week was chemo week. I try not to blog during chemo as I am generally a bit "down". I can tell the Wednesday before chemo treatments that I am in a mood that sort of looms overhead like a dark cloud. While chemo is a reminder that I am sick.... something I care not to acknowledge as I do not wish to give this illness any power over me. I am cultivating some wonderful friendship with people at the Cancer Center. We are kind of like a club... we laugh, we support those who cry, we crack jokes, we are rather goofy but in a loving sort of way. We never know if we will meet again in a couple weeks and when someone is missing.... we worry, we are sad.

 It is now Tuesday and I am recovered from the dark days and ready to spend the next ten as if I am in the peak of health.... Taking a small trip this weekend to celebrate life and ignore that which gives us grief. I am looking forward to the quick escape.

I must recommend another book, this one for the healthy as well as those of us not so healthy. It is a mind over matter philosophy that we can all incorporate into our lives and frankly, I cannot argue with the testament of using the tools offered. I embrace them as well as other in my quest to control my body, fight the cancer cells and recover my perfect body.... it will be done. You can do it also. Author: Deepak Chopra, Md. Title: Perfect Health. There are other books, but so far I am glued to this one. Dr. Chopra has a clinic in La Jolla, California and has been practicing a long time. Try this, you will be surprised what you can do to lead a healthy life, control cell activity, live longer, and be young.

My oncologist and I chatted about toxicity... a drawback to constant chemo therapy. Since my labs are coming in great, as usual and my cancer cell count down to #9, I am taking the next two months off to give my body a break from all the chemicals it ingests. I so look forward to the holidays, as if the grim reaper were not lurking... lol I decided to do as the TV commercials portray..... look him in the eye, check my Ipad or internet phone, and then tell him he is not real, sorry. :)

So, read my friends and take an active role in preserving your health, for you, for your family. Stay positive, avoid inflammation caused by illness or stress, be happy, forgive people and live live live to the fullest. Thanks for checking in. I am good and plan on getting better. XO
