Update

Hi!
We have had more appointments with the doctor. Still so far so good. Have not started on the 2nd rounds of chemo. The M protein is still stable. My Mom is regaining strength but there are setbacks at times, like catching a cold or having a horrible bronchitus. We got her on good meds but it has to taken its time. It eventually went away.

I asked for the doctor’s permission if my Mom could use acupuncture (she has a certain heavy sensation in her legs) and I was surprised when she gave the all ok.
So far we have had 4 sessions with an experienced acupuncturist. She saw some good results and plans on continuing.

I want to say something which has been on my mind for a while. Six months ago my world fell apart when the doctor told me of her cancer. But it has been a blessing in disguise. I heard people say that and i did NOT believe them. I kept saying to myself “what f….. disguise it is cancer people!”

But now, I truly believe it. The blessing is you start acting differently, thinking in different ways, erasing the trivial and concentrating on the here and now. What was important pre-cancer is not so important now.And that is so important. Because God knows you do not have alot of energy and to waste it on something unimportant?

And even if i get cancer in later years, I will have learnt from my Mom. I have already taken steps to sort out my life so that I can take care of her and so that I can live in the now.

My prayers to all cancer FIGHTERS and survivors.
We can beat this thing.
Peace
