Chemo #9 10/21/21

Posted on October 24, 2021 by admin

I’m open and willing to try anything that will improve my mindset and my health!

October 7 was my first time, I received acupuncture at Hong’s Acupuncture Healthcare Center. It was amazing!! It was complete with aroma therapy, cupping, red light, and acupuncture. I’m hooked and have been going every week.

Chemo #8 was more of the same followed by extra side effects. I’m having constant nausea, some ringing in my ears, and electrical waves down my spine out thru my Legg’s and feet whenever I put my chin to my chest (Lhermitte’s syndrome). These are in addition to the host of others. Taking all of this into account we planned to remove Oxaliplatin from my cocktail. I am hopeful this week for less side effects without losing a key component for tumor shrinkage. Please pray for my complete healing!

Chemo #9
I was able to start my day later (due to removing the one drug) which was great. This allowed me to take my mom to her morning cardiologist appointment. (She recently fell out of bed and has a subdural hematoma). Then from my house brother Kris picked us up (with his one arm, other is in a sling from rotator cuff surgery) and drove us to Anderson Cancer Center here in Jupiter. Mom was able to stay with me. We handed out chocolate covered pretzels to the staff (as if they didn’t already live us enough already) Chemo went well. We were both able to sleep a little bit. Then Nikki Promades drove us both home with a smile.

The evening was topped off with my current favorite organic oatmeal for a quiet dinner with my love, Andy. Yes oatmeal.

Tomorrow is not promised. Keep making each day great. Get your colonoscopy. Nothing makes me happier than hearing this and that my predicament may somehow help another.

    Hi Angela,
    I’m so happy you’ve discovered acupuncture. I agree it is so awesome. I’ve been doing it for close to 20 years. Cranial Sacral Therapy is also amazing. Coupled with chiropractic, the three therapies are very complimentary. Praying for your continued healing. Many blessings to you and your family.
