It’s been a great day! Gretta came to the clinic just about the time we were ready to leave, so we walked back to the hotel together. We’ve just been sitting around enjoying visiting all evening. By the way, I stand corrected. Gretta is 7 months pregnant; not 6. Time is really short! Her baby is due March. 4th.
My treatment today was a regular light day, in that I didn’t have hyperthermia. It’s more like pampering. I had the infrared light therapy, then the Galvano therapy (electrodes attached to my breast), then and the wonderful lymph massage. Those are all very serious and helpful, but they are so pleasant that it seems like a light day to me. Today they added breathing exercises. I don’t have any trouble breathing, but they wanted to be sure that I know the art of breathing to relax. I’m really way good at that! I love working with them, though.
Tomorrow is our ‘day off’ from the clinic. We don’t have to go to the clinic at all, and even my oral meds are simpler than the rest of the week. The rest of the week I have several sublingual meds per day and several capsules. On the 7th day I only do 3 capsules 3 times a day, so that’s so easy and nice. Tomorrow we will go to the laundry mat and clean up our clothes. Monday, I will start the week with the hyperthermia and IPT treatments. None of the treatments are bothering me in the least, and the hyperthermia has turned into a party, so don’t any of you worry about me. Please keep me in your prayers and God will do the work. Pray for Gretta to have a safe flight home on Monday and catch up at home without too much stress. We all need to de-stress as much as possible; cancer loves it when we have stress! That is my challenge: de-stress.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for checking in with me and for your love and prayers. I love you all . . .
