Just to let you know that you have nev...Dear Kate,<br /><br />Just to let you know that you have never been forgotten and I am holding you tight in my daily prayer. (I am also undergoing through a very tough time now dealing with the impending,inevitable passing away of my dear mother. In and out of the hospital,witnessing pain and suffering everday is enough to make me feel exhausted,stressful and downhearted.) <br /><br />So sorry to hear that you had been feeling much more tired and worn out and sky high with anxiety. Well,try to think positively, even your bloodwork came back 1.0, it is still on the edge of an acceptable white blood count to get chemo. Of course, you must rest very well everyday to enable your body to function and produce new white cells. Things might still go in your direction next week. Eat nutritiouly, have plenty of rest and relax. Meanwhile,I think it's better that you take time to rest more than to attend the National Breast Cancer Gathering for young women. If possible, try to arrange caretakers to look after your little girl to allow yourself time to charge energy. I know it sounds easy but might be difficult to carry out. However, which is more immediate and important? As cancer patients, we have no choice but to learn how to let go and choose our priority. As you said, your body has clearly sent you a message, so it's time to slow things down to enable you to get yourself back to that finish line on time. You need to love yourself first. That's not selfishness, that's a necessity now.<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better and is more cheered up. After the rain you will see the sun. Keep on running with confidenc. Look ahead positively to embrace your finish line. It's getting close!<br /><br />Hugs and Prayer!survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140087604698531750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609734477228946286.post-61122282143449103222011-09-18T07:37:24.177+02:002011-09-18T07:37:24.177+02:00Hey Kate Warrior - I guess this is when the tough...Hey Kate Warrior - I guess this is when the tough get going... and it seems to me that this crappy phase is mostly about accepting where you're at with the wear and tear of chemo (not unique by any means) and doing the basic smarts about resting, eating well, doing less and keeping anxiety manageable. I so wish you didn't have to go through all this suffering but since there is no option, I wish you restful sleep, good eats, happy moments, tons of hope to fill your veins, healing grace to increase that WBC. We know that you have an excellent medical Team OBB by your side. In addition, remember that there is a ring of love across the globe that surrounds you - you friends and supporters, some of whom you have not even met in person, who are carrying you in their hearts and sharing their strength with you to lighten your load. In the front of this loving procession is your loving Captain AC who wishes she could be there to help you in person. This too shall pass... abundant love and warmest of hugsCaptain AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086398920001615824noreply@blogger.com
