Take courage. Imagine, when I was going through my c-treatments two-and-a-half years ago, I was struggling all alone by myself. I was not that lucky like you, as I didn’t "have a supportive and loving partner around, or a cheery and innocent giggling toddler in the house to lighten the mood, or a generous extended family who show up at the drop of a hat or a network of amazing friends." Yet,how did I do it? The magic word is "Believe". I believe I can conquer the battle, so I must accept the unpleasant feelings and face the challenge. I am determined to live long as I looked forward to attending my daughter's convocation, so I have to find ways to comfort myself amidst the fear and struggles. Then I survived. <br /><br />Taking a good, brisk walk everyday is definitely a very sound act to do and should be built in your daily schedule. Oxygen from the fresh air and exercise is a good supplement to the treatment. Hope the weather will cooperate, if not, remember to cover youself well and never catch a cold. It's also important to stay away from the crowd as your immune system is at the lowest now. Before you have your next C-spa, ensure that you consume good nutritious food/liquid to maintain/build enough red blood cells, otherwise, they will have to postpone the 2nd treatment because if the red blood counts is not ideal, the 2nd shot cannot be applied.<br /><br />Think positively. Maintain a happy state of mind and accept the days patiently as they come along. Remember, you need to win and only you can make it work! Have no fear. Trust in your Higher Power if you have one. That's how I obtain my courage and strength.<br /><br />Prayers and hugs!survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140087604698531750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609734477228946286.post-57855794004841262312011-05-23T23:27:38.542+02:002011-05-23T23:27:38.542+02:00Just spoke to Chris- she's following your blog...Just spoke to Chris- she's following your blog with much interest and some tears... sends you love too and is thinking of youCaptain AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086398920001615824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609734477228946286.post-18021871987986182302011-05-23T23:25:30.903+02:002011-05-23T23:25:30.903+02:00Bravo Kate!
