Chemo # 1 (or 17)

Waiting for chemo to be administered. Mixed emotions seeing my nurse. Relieved to see a familiar face. Flashbacks of previous chemos and a reminder of what is to come. Hope of cure. These meds will get rid of this Inshallah (God willing).

They have just told me that they will be giving me an injection in my stomach to prevent stomach cramps which is likely during the treatment. I am anxious about this and also about them accessing the portacath after so many months. I have a plan for today whilst in hospital. I have around 4/5 hours here so will finish Jay shetty’s book and then maybe listen to some talks by Scot Wark. He was recommended to me last night. Scot beats Cancer. He healed himself from Bowel cancer. Without chemo or radiotherapy. I am so inspired by these people. There are so many of them! The general idea is that nature has the ability to cure. We have the abiloty to cure ourselves. Natural foods, fresh air, exercise, our thoughts and connecting with the higher being who controls everything!

Over the last few days i have started feeling some of the chemo side effects which is really weird as i haven’t had chemo in 4 months! The power of the mind. I want to try and not focus on the side effects. It’s hard but i will try!

Oh the injection is done and really wasn’t too bad. Just a prick and then some stinging for a few seconds. And the portacath is working fine too. Alhamdulilllah!!

Ready to start the new combination of chemo FolFuri. Last time i had something called Folfox. She said because of ongoing advancements in the chemo medicine, i may, once again, be saved from losing my hair. This would be great…but i am prepared either way! If i lose it then i am welcoming others to give me company in shaving theirs! 😉

The colours:
🏳️‍🌈 The radiant sun shining through the hospital window.🌞
🏳️‍🌈 Seeing a familiar face..my nurse 😇
🏳️‍🌈 hospital is close to home!
🏳️‍🌈 New meds will not make me get that pins and needles feeling in my hands and feet and i won’t be sensitive to the cold so can eat ice cream 😋

Wrote this a couple of days ago but didn’t publish…need to figure out how to do it on my phone again .

Over and out xxx
