Okay, I just completed my first week of Chemo. Side effects, minimal to none. I have had a low grade headache on and off. My most significant side effect, and I don’t even know if this is the drugs or just me with these over 100 degree days we’ve been having, but when I stand up for a period of time, I begin to sweat profusely. It’s like someone is holding a water hose over my head and the sweat just keeps rolling. Now, that might have thrown my electrolytes off a bit, so I went and got some vitamin water. My daughter introduced me to coconut water, which seems to be more natural and have more electrolytes in it. It’s not as tasty, but it’s natural, so I’ll go with that. Why does natural have to be so much more expensive??? No chemical, no additives, no coloring, yet more expensive. Duh!!! Something is wrong with that picture. Anyway, I did notice that I slept a lot over the weekend. I might just be tired, but it was almost as if a magnet was pulling me to the bed. I went and got some beets to add to my carrot juice, and I’m looking into foods that build blood. I’m really trying to incorporate a better eating regiment into my daily life and supplements that help lesson the side effects of chemo. So far, so good. I am eating a mostly vegan diet. I won’t say, I’m 100% but I am pretty close. Now, to include more raw vegan is my goal. I am also taking tumeric, a blend of acai, noni, mangosteen, goji, etc. juice, wheat grass, and reishi mushrooms (capsules). I am slightly constipated, but not badly, considering, they told me to get ready for diarrhea. They said, I would have a super sensitivity to cold, that I wouldn’t be able to go into the freezer or even refrigerator without gloves. I haven’t tried the freezer, but I go in and out of the refrigerator daily with no problems. Overall, I feel fine, no worse or better than normal. Although, once again, my arthritis, is doing so much better. I’m praying daily to God, for as few side effects as possible. He is honoring my prayers. I am trying to get past the guilt of sins committed and try to do what is right in His sight. I do love God. People keep saying this is going to be my testimony. If that’s so, okay, but right now, it’s just getting to the other side of this thing. The battle is already won in Jesus name. Now, hopefully, I can rebuild whatever damage was done by the drugs over the next week before treatment starts again. Every other week, for 6 months. Praise God, I can do this! In Jesus Name, Amen!
