Week off of Chemo

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. Try to make some new jewelry desings. I think that would be fun. Have a new launch and promote it. I did make some evil eye bracelets that I am going to put on my website. Hopefully I can start to promote it more and try to get my business up and running. That would be nice for me a nice little distraction.
Well, I will let you go for now. I am going to try to write again sometime this week, not sure what day but definitely before chemo again on next Tuesday the 14th. I meet with my oncologist on that Tuesday so I will fill you in on what she says.
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...
