Parenting and Cancer

While I can take sick leave from my part time job during my chemo week, there's never 'sick leave' from my full time job as mother of 3 (12, 7 and 4). Having a nap on the couch is near impossible as I have to keep my ear out for any potential trouble, and I'm frequently interrupted by demands. My kids don't really understand that coughing or sneezing on me could send me to hospital, no matter how many times I try to explain white blood cells and germs.

Past half way!!

Over the hump!...in my 4th week of treatment of 6 wk radiotherapy (5 days/wk and chemo on Mondays) feeling in a good place today. Of course getting to this point, not so much. Feeling grateful today that my side-effects have been somewhat minimal, third/fourth day after chemo up until the weekend comes has been the biggest hurdle. Cysplatin = nausea and popping wafers/Pramin seems to be easing a large part of that feeling. When feeling crappy I must also remind myself that obviously my journey so far as been a relatively easy one comparatively.

A new drug free life

It's been almost 2 months since my last post- what a rollercoaster. My dear husband decided that chemo & avastin were no longer his path, and with deep discussion between the two of us, I support his decision 100%. I stand by him proudly, as it must take alot of courage to take this step. Instead of using western medicine, we are doing the healthy lifestyle. Juicing etc.
