Still doing well...

Hi, All,

Last Thursday's shorter session (2 hours) came and went with very little fanfare. I barely had time to read the newspaper, and it was time to leave. My weight continues to maintain at a good level, so you know I'm eating! I'm especially trying to take in foods that will boost my immune system or aid in annhilating (I love that word) cancer cells: green tea, broccoli, cauliflower, turmeric, blueberries, and the list goes on. Of course, I have an occasional cookie just so I don't forget what they taste like. My sister, Vicki, has loaned me her juicer which is supposed to be very helpful in the cancer fight. I love mixing deep purple grapes, strawberries and blueberries.

My hair is starting to grow back, so I asked the doctor if that meant the chemo drugs were not being as effective. Fortunately, that is not the case, and I am following a normal pattern. I've colored my hair for so long that I can't remember what it used to look like. I can guarantee you that it won't be plain old brown anymore. I'm finding it quite an adventure to see what the end result will be.

I look forward to posting my next blog which will mark the end of 6 months of chemo. Thank you for continuing on in this journey with me.

Love,
Linda

  2. Hey Linda, can I come eat broccoli with you? No one over here likes it... even with processed cheese.
