Today was another red shirt day. I felt pretty good, although my stomach was slightly off and I was a little more tired after three hectic days. I actually slept for a few hours this afternoon. I did win a set of tennis this morning and the bridge game tonight.
Tomorrow is what I am planning to be my last chemo session. Assuming that next Tuesday's petscan comes out as I hope and expect, we will switch to our own program to combat cancer going forward.
It is a little stressful working through this process. The fact is that chemo ultimately kills you and I think the odds are much better pursuing a program that does what is necessary.
I have laid out 7 things that need to be addressed going forward.
1. Build up and maintain the immune system
2. Tackle any tumors that might try to grow
3. Battle circulating cancer cells
4. Detoxify the colon
5. Detoxify the liver
6. Improve the "gut" issues
7. Make the body more alkaline
This may be an imprecise list of action points, but it what I am working with.
There is a strategy for each of these, involving diet, supplements, exercise and things like the infrared sauna. There is a large emphasis on vegetables and fruit.
To combat the stress, I have begun to take the rubber ducky that I got with the Epsom salts into the tub when I have a soak.
In fact, I think that I will do that now while listening to Cash Cab.
