This week I have the week off of chemo. Which is nice give me some time to recuperate. I am feeling sick today. Like sick to my stomach. I took my anti-nausea medicine but that is not helping as much. The call with the GI doctor from Houston was moved to yesterday Monday April 6th at 230 pm. She told me I had to start walking, eat more protein and fruits and veggies. Stay hydrated. They said that surgery would be tricky due to where the tumor is. On my bile duct they do not know where it starts or ends. They want me to get more chemo before my next scan in May to see if surgery is in option for me. She did say that surgery was my best option. But my bloodwork looked good. So for this week off of chemo I am going to try to stay out of bed, walk (I did this morning), go to the grocery store and buy some fruits and veggies that I can eat. I need to go when my stomach is not upset because as of right now nothing is sounding good. I am going to read, and work on my business. ...
I had chemo yesterday. It went good as good as chemo can go. Today I am feeling nauseous and exhausted. But I am trying to not lay down and work on myself. I had a breakdown in the shower last night. My doctor said I had 14 months to live. But 5 years is like 2-3% surival rate. I don't want to die in a year. I have my kids who are going to graduate from high school. I want to see that. I need to live. I want to live. So what am I going to do to make sure I live? I've been watching a DVD by Kris Carr Crazy Sexy Cancer. She has liver cancer and is on a journey to live. She had 24 tumors on her liver. She is alive and well today 24 years later. She changed her diet. No red meat, diary, coffee, processed foods, no sugar. It is going to be hard because I have four other people living in this house. Are they going to want to do this? I think they will. If they know it means that I could live longer. I have a phone call with the GI doctor in Houston at 4 pm today...
