May 12, 2011 Going back on chemo



The last few weeks my abdomen has become distended as well as swelling in my legs and feet. My physician realizes this is a progression of my disease and would like me to go back on chemo. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't eat as much but my belly was protruding out more each day. I took some time to cry about it, during the middle of the night as well as feel the fear of what this meant for my life, but after I cried and prayed and slept I got up in the morning licked my wounds and pressed on.



I started chemo today. I'm grateful that there is still something out there for me because it is not time to go yet. I did yoga on the deck today and felt the healing energy of the sun on my face and decided it was a good day. Remember that life is just a series of hills and valleys. Make the most of the high times and have courage to get through the low ones. We can all do that. I am grateful for this life I have been given.
