After chemo 2

Dear all
(1) Thank you  for all the smses, emails, visitations, food, encouragement, get-well card from US and MOST IMPORTANT your prayers! HE HEARS. I will praise him FOR NO SIDE effects at all. Except for a the the hair fall which is of course regrettable BUT I am beginning to accept that freakish stranger that stares at me in the mirror actually looks good as a result of all the antioxidant that I take-- the skin looks firmer and lesser lines--- its the truth!
In fact immediately after the 2nd chemo I felt even fitter than after the first one-- really very grateful to God for being so merciful.
ONLY loss of appetite for the first 4 days and flushed face on day 2, a bit of ache on day 3 and 4.

(2) There isnt any loss in energy levels at all  i.e I am still able to do all the things I want to do without feeling tired-- perhaps the real test comes if I go back and work a full 10 to 12 hours--- but I have to learn rest  in order to travel a longer journey.
I will be attending zumba fitness class this saturday morning

(3) I have this all -consuming obsession to read on google the various diet and what I can take and what I cannot-- not as anxious as before but I still want to stick to the no sugar, processed food, animal protein, dairy products and gluten if possible.

(4) I read in this book by Melanie Bone-- A journey through caner-- that Cancer is the loneliest disease in the world--- I beg to differ becos I felt lonelier prior to the diagnosis !- simply becos I have been getting a lot of love, care, and attention from everyone-- I am beginning to be a little worried that I may suffer from withdrawal symptoms once I go into remission
And in this book it says that Remission is also the time where there will be greater anxiety and fear of recurrence SO DO NOT LET GO OF ME just because i look strong and beautiful again!! I am now reading "When your doctor has bad news" - by Al. B. Weir-- the first chapter seems promising but looks( first chapter) are deceiving.

I am quite certain that at the end of my sabbatical , I will be a walking encyclopedia about all things related to gynecological cancer-- perhaps I can be of use somewhere

(5) Finally I will be going for the 3rd chemo -half way milestone next Thursday on 4/10/2012 and I hope you will continue to uphold me in your prayers . Pls pray  for:
(a) good blood count-- doc says that my blood tests HAS BEEN EXCELLENT-- as a patient also want to EXCEL-- you are beginning to see a glimpse of the old me......
(b) the chemo drug will do God's customized work of killing any remaining cancerous cells BUT NOT HARMIng any tissues or organs in the BODY
(c) no SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL---- you really have to  read to know how much other cancer patients suffer to know how grateful I am for this
(d)GOOD health for all loved ones so that they can continue to support me in this arduous journey
(e) God's guidance for Wilson(career) and Valerie ( studies)

I thank God for putting all of you in my life and may HE keep you in good health always
