I have kept myself away from this blog for a whole week, feeling 'normal', miraculously after the week prior, and just enjoying eating again and functioning almost as if I am really normal without cancer. Some reality kept creeping in-going for genetic testing for my family's knowledge and my own. I will not go into any details until after I get results in March.
A lesson learned today: never leave getting your 'heetchaivut' until the day before. It proved to be a major mistake, leading to tension and stress unnecessarily. You can not get in for your blood test and chemotherapy without this permission slip (heetchaivut) from your kupa (health clinic).
So now finally, at 7 p.m. I have my big permission to spend a day getting chemotherapy once again, and then 1 1/2 days later, to have the injection. I pray that I will be able to handle it as well as I did last time, which wasn't great, but I didn't collapse totally either. I even managed to continue to teach with no one noticing how ill I really felt, and to do my osteoporosis exercise, albeit very mildly.
How much I have enjoyed my meals this past week without feeling nauseous! Simple, nutritious and pleasant! There is so much in the daily routine to be so thankful for!My book of abundance that I keep on my computer keeps me grounded and thankful always-I have been writing there for years already-a list of at least 5 or more things daily that I am thankful for. In this blog, I concentrate more on existing with cancer .
Thank you to all who are wishing me well. I try to remember others who are suffering and wish all of us a recovery.
Until the next time that we meet to 'talk', be well-kol toov!
