Day 10 Chemo 1. Sat. 07/29/2017 5:20PM
Today I had a slight headache around 5:00AM. Following my Oncologist’s order to anticipate the pain instead of waiting for the pain to worsen, I took “paracetamol “and drank my Hazelnut Non-Dairy organic soya milk from “Healthy Options Store”, Ayala Center, Cebu. Like what I normally do when pain starts to creep in I just let my body go to rest, thus I went back to sleep and ended waking up at 7:00AM. Pain had finally subsided and I was able to do my morning Meditation of the “Unsinkable Bounce Back System” of Sonia Ricotti. This is the meditation which always helped me feel more alive, more aware, peaceful, calm and alert. I always feel wonderful, and energized, ready to create and attract wonderful things in life. With all these sparkling energy I get more excited to follow through the recommended diet first thing in the morning in The Plant Programme of Jane Plant. And that is taking a fruit juice extract such as my watermelon juice combined with little organic honey. It’s a wonderful thing to start the day quenching my thirst as well as arming myself from radical effects of cancer and maybe prevent hair loss as well ha ha ha. With these my early morning is just full of positive aura.
Following all the morning rituals I got ready for work and received a call from Jerome asking for suggestions about the appropriate title of this journal and the website we will be creating.
The following were the suggestions he asked me to check upon.
Title for the Book:
- Coping with Breast Cancer
- Coping gracefully with Breast Cancer
- Defying Breast Cancer
- How to submit to Breast Cancer and come out inspired and victorious.
- Faith that heals
- 100Years Fan Club
- How to live a life to reach 100 years of peace, joy, and love
- Fighting Cancer to reach 100 years
- Being unsinkable with Breast Cancer.
- My journey to recovery.
Domain name suggestions:
My one and only suggestion which I haven't told him, because we were cut off from our conversation was, "My journey to Healing". And for the web domain name it would be based from his suggestion, "ToLive100Years.com". They all looked fine to me.
I was ready for work already around 9:00AM, but my lunch wasn’t ready yet. Having the luxury of someone preparing it for me, I was obliged to wait because, I just couldn't take any food not prepared by us. These are all the restrictions I have to undergo, avoidance at all cost of any unhealthy foods.
So funny to recall that when we were watching that movie, "Kita kita" almost everyone beside us we're bringing big boxes of popcorn and large sodas while all I had was pre boiled water in my red stainless water container. So darn cheap so to say but a lot healthier. For me it was alright, as long as I can live up to 100 years and see my son grow in my golden years and become a man of values. That’s absolutely phenomenal. And I am good with that.
Although I aim for this 100 years old at times I stumble to hold on to discipline on my diet especially the avoidance of non-dairy stuff which was a complete no, no for breast cancer patients as prescribed in Jane Plant’s “Your Life in Your Hand” and Kristene Matheson’s “From Cancer to Wellness, the forgotten secrets”. Craving comes in disguise. Yesterday my niece Sinead was eating chocolate mousse cake from Red Ribbon. The tantalizing look of it was irresistible and I ended up munching 2 small bites of it and jokingly told her: “Ate Sinead maybe the cancer cell could not detect it yet. hahahaha.” . That’s the disguise that a patient like me should be concerned of.
Both Jane Plant And Kristene Matheson always emphasized non-dairy organic fresh raw veggies, fruits and turmeric, because turmeric will let cancer cells to commit suicide. I guess I have to start ramping up my turmeric intake.
It had been 10 days since my first chemotherapy, and so far there are no signs of falling hair. I am so excited to see if I get bald or not. Because according to the side effects of epirubicin and cyclophospamide both will cause hair loss. My onco said that once I start losing hair I better shave them off, so that when they grow back, they'll grow back at the same time. I don't mind the shaving, but I could not imagine if I could last the process, ‘coz I'm so ticklish. I might be giggling the whole time. Just the thought of it, gave me goosebumps already.
“God I'm not afraid of my chemo and was not a bit worried when I had my MRM, but shave my head to baldness? Gosh! I could not imagine it. I could not probably last the entire procedure. Maybe I need an IVTT diphenhydramine to make me sleep. Ha ha ha.”
Let us see if my watermelon juice will help me prevent baldness as what other cancer patients did and able to keep their hair strong against the strength of chemotherapy.
I was even joking to Ate Sinead this morning that If Ever I will never lose my hair and they will ask me what's my secret. I will tell them: “Get ready to be bald by cutting your hair really short and buying 10 pieces of bandana in advance. Hahaha.”
