Chemo Cycle 3 Done

I just finished my 3rd round of chemo. I have next week off which is nice. I'm feeling exhausted and have a headache today. But I tried to stay out of bed today. I did lay down till about 930 am. I am getting a CT scan on April 29, 2026 to see if the tumors have shrunk. So please keep me in your prayers that they have.
I have just been so exhausted after the chemo appointments. I lay down and just relax. But I can't stay in bed all day. I have an Etsy shop that I am going to work on this week that I am off of chemo. I've been trying to start my small business which seems like forever. But I work on it and give up. So I am trying to get my life together. I can't wait till my cancer journey is over and then start. I have to start now. I know I can't do too much the weeks that I do have chemo but I can work a little it on it. So that is what I am going to do.
So wish me luck that I can do this. This blog will not be about my business, I have a different blog for that. That blog is https://hopeangelinedesigns.blogspot.com/ This blog will stay about my cancer journey.
Well, that is all I have for now. I am going to rest this coming week so I won't have anything new to report until I see my oncologist on May 5th. I have a procedure on May 4th to get my stint taken out. So I will come back and talk about with y'all. For now I will say I will talk to you later. Please keep me in your prayers or send good vibes.
XOXO,
Hope Angel

I know I haven't posted in a bit. I've been feeling so exhausted lately. Like I can not get enough of sleep. I went through chemo on March 10th had a week off the week of the March 16th. I went to chemo on Tuesday March 24th it went good. As good as chemo can go. I am feeling nauseous and exhausted today but trying to stay busy. I do not want to lay in bed all day. I am going to try to stay busy. I like to make jewelry so I am going to attempt to do that. I've been researching diets and cancer. I need to do something else instead of just waiting around. I want to help kick cancer butt! It is a lot of information. So I am trying to soak it all in. There is so much information. I do have a call with a dietitian so I am looking forward to that. Maybe she can help me with some reciepes or what foods to eat and to avoid. I bought several books from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is overwhelming. I wish I could talk to someone who has been through this type o...

The Day My Life Changed

On February 13, 2026 I was given the words "You have Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer". My world fell apart at that moment. My mind raced as I thought what about my kids, husband and family? Do I need to do chemotherpy? Am I going to die? Waiting for the appointment with the oncologist felt like it took forever even though it was a week later. She gave the same diagnoises. Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer from the byopsy they took. She told me I had anywhere from 12 months to 5 five years. Bu 5 years is rare. It is a uncureable disease. My husband and I cried right there in the patient room. All I could hear is 12 months. I told my husband I can't die in 12 months I want to see the kids graduate. I have so much I need to do. It was earth shattering. Right now I do not feel like I have cancer. I did one treatment. My hair is falling out a bit but not a lot. Kinda like a usaul amount after you brush your hair. I do not feel ill. I am overwhelmed. I started chemo on Ma...

How I'm feeling after Chemo.

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...
