...a better day

Dear Friends,

I planned to take a walk today...this morning....Susan came to take the challenge of walking to the end of the driveway and back...I wasn't able to do it...back to the sofa...UGH!!! Too nauseated and tired...

Then...Susan came back and took me to get blood work...my first outing since last Wednesday...slowly...I began to feel more alive...I walked from the car to the lab and back again and then felt stronger and stronger...still slow...I'll take it!!!

I found a great option for nutrition...I was so reluctant to feed my body too many good things...wanting the chemo to work...I don't think anyone really knows for sure about anti-oxidents ...about how to support the body during chemo...I'm going to juice daily through a juice place I trust...the owner had cancer and through juicing he blew the Dr's away with the success of his healing and his stamina during chemo!!! I'm on it!

I have often become very sick from fresh juices made from different health food stores due to bacteria...a real concern for patients going through chemo...I wasn't very confident letting people bring me juices...I have a juicer and a great blender...but it's also tiring to do it myself and the cleaning is crucial and time consuming...after talking to Abdul and his wife Tania...I'm very confident in using their organic fresh juices as a huge part of my healing!

Here is their info.... they said they would help anyone bringing me juice ...choosing the just right juice for me! Right now...GREEN JUICE is the best for me ...

I feel uplifted and excited that I found an option for nutrition...yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

caution about plastics

Are you Aware of this?

Just in case...

Caution:

For your health and mine...

No plastic should be used for hot foods ...placing in plastic bags or plastic containers when food is still hot...plastic can only be used for food at room temperature...we have already been alerted about water and plastic bottles...it's the same toxic chemicals that leech into the food from the plastic...

NO cooking...warming up...storing hot or warm food in any kind of plastic

This is highly toxic and NO ONE should be doing this for themselves or others...

We should pass this on for everyone...

Those of you who are making food for me...

I have a lot of glass containers that you can come to pick up to use to bring food back to me...I will also keep all of your containers that you can come and pick up...also remember to label your containers...if you don't want them back...please let me know...

Much love,
Summer

grateful for a shower

I just took a shower and washed my hair without wanting to vomit or fall down in belly pain...so grateful to still have the energy to blog...feeling a little better at this moment...I'll take it...wishing you all a wonderful day...

Thanks so much for the wonderful food...the dragonfly ... the daffodils and the Buddha bunny...so much love and I'm sending it right back out to you!

chemo days

Dear Friends,

WOW...I barely got myself to my computer to write this ...

Wednesday, April 8th around 11am the first IP ( in the belly) was administered ...I did very well ...due to the drug combination...I fell asleep and from that moment on...I was groggy...nauseated and fluish...

I was also given the IV chemo.

Many of you have called and as much as I've wanted to talk to you ...I can barely get to the bathroom and back to the sofa...I have my phone off so I won't know you have called until later...I'll call back or and answer as I can.

Thank you for the wonderful food...it has been perfect!

From what I understand...these strong symptoms may continue through Tuesday...

The next chemo is next Thursday...the symptoms are supposed to be less intense.

Did you hear the rain last night...loved that sound...

Love to you,
Summer

private class in ON!!!

Private Blend class is on...see you in a few...
