OOPS
Instead of taking my new medication (temodol --chemo med) every 24 hours and my anti-nausea med every 12 hrs. I've taken both drugs every 12 hours. I'll continue to take as prescribed now. Even the mosquitoes didn't bite me last night.
I extend to you my current thoughts, passages and exercises from books and links that I'm reading/viewing/listening to as I go through cancer treatment.
I was diagnosed with a rare cancer on Labour Day weekend 2007, just before the new teaching/school year. (It's a primitive neuroectodermal tumor). My amazing doctors have been treating me with ovarian,brain, and other cancer drugs to tackle these aggressive tumors. Cisplatin and Etoposide did wonders for the 2 main tumors, then Carboplatinum and Etoposide when the Cisplatin became too hard for my body,then I was treated with Temodol, and the latest drugs which have created the greatest change are Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide. I have lost my hair and feeling in my hands and feet, so finding out that I can blog is the best way to keep an on-going journal. I hope that these links, and some may seem far out there, will help someone to see for themselves if the books, exercises or links can offer them some help, and bring to them encouragement and hope in the darkest times. I keep on seeking.
