Its friday!

So Ill admit I was a bad today.  Since I was so worried about getting sick on the way to the docs office I just didn't take my meds. (bad I know) Sadly, I feel great. No puking, no other tummy issues. I feel so much better. Granted chemo isn't known to be all sunshine and rainbows. Just these past few hours have been great not feeling sick. I go back to my normal regimen soon. They did give me some new meds to combat the side effects. Hopefully they work. I honestly can't live with the running to the bathroom every 1-2 hours. (its like clockwork.) We have to find a way to make this work.

That said, the good news is my headaches have gone down entirely. In fact I haven't been on any pain meds at all for the past 2 weeks!! So something is working in there. Its likely the chemo, but we don't know for sure.

I did have a scan today, although it wasn't the one we thought. It was a MRI of my lower spine. None on my head like normal. I guess they wanted to check my back for more tumors since Ive had trouble walking. Im hoping at least it will show the one on my tibia has gone down or disappeared entirely. :) *cross your fingers and pray!* Im supposed to hear from the doc sometime tonight with the results of the scan. I also was on the border of dehydration so today they gave me fluids etc. My blood work looks pretty much perfect other than that. Except there is one tiny issue…….within the past week and a half Ive lost 15 lbs. Now Im all of 5'3'' so small, 15lbs is a lot on top of what I had already lost. Im officially downy to the weight I was in High School!!! (every girls dream right?) Problem is nothing fits, and with all the puking I haven't had time to go shopping. My pants literally fall off my hips.

This weekend no big plans for my group. We plan on trying to get me to be able to tolerate my medications better, and rest loads and loads of rest. Thats all I have for now. Good night! - Cassandra

  2. My dad had sent this to me....he had prostrate cancer and he found this to help. He sent this to me for my fiance's mom.

    Included here is the stage 4 Cancer treatment that will help the body develop an alcaline
    chemistry in which cancer cells cannot live.

    The whole point is to develop a multi prong attack.

    Purchase:
    3C Organic Maple Syrup

    1 cup Arm & Hammer Aluminum free baking soda.

    Place both ingredients in a LARGE pot due to the increase in size of the baking soada as heat is applied.
    Whisk for 5 minutes. DO NOT boil. Turn off and allow mixture to copol down.

    Pour into glass jar and refrigerate. Take one (1) teaspoon daily. Turn jar upside down to remix
    ingredients before taking. PH test strips should be available to check body chemistry periodicaly.
    There should be a slow move to the alkaline side of the scale. Before taking remedy a test strip should
    be taken to see just where the body chemistry is at, and should be noyed to then see how the remedy is
    progressing.

    Additionally, the health Food store should carry a product called Esiac Tea. Also, a known cancer fighter.

    Read through the Budwig cancer site carefully. It is very informative.
