Third Round...

I've started my third round of Xeloda....as I was talking with my oncologist yesterday, I asked," please will you do all the marker tests, just so I can have some idea what is going on". She insisted that I have had them done, although she couldn't find the paper work for the tests. Well I know why she couldn't find the paperwork, because I haven't been tested at ALL since I had all my womanly parts taken out in January. She then ordered the blood tests and MRI, because "supposedly" they do it after the third dose. She was all concerned that if I know the results, and if anything shows up I will stop fighting. What a crock....it would only make me fight even harder. I know they will not find anything, because I know my own body, I understand the signals it gives me, and I get angry when someone else tells me how I'm supposed to feel.
She asked how my feet were doing, and I told her that a family member had given me some ACUPEDS, they are foot patches that you put on at night, and they take the toxins out of your body. Anyway the day after I started using these patches, my foot pain was gone. When she asked me to write it down, so she could share this information with other patients, I was shocked, but instantly told her the name and where they can be purchased. Hopefully someone else will get the opportunity to be more comfortable during this process.
She also asked if I was doing any "alternative" therapy, so I told her about drinking the ph water, phytoplanktin, cod liver oil, and vidacell. She didn't seem concerned, so I will carry on. Chances are I would carry on without her blessing! She said they were having some problems with other patients. I think she just wanted to know what I was up to! Everything I'm doing compliments the drugs, it makes my body work more efficiently, and heal faster. It's funny, she keeps telling me to go get a steak, and have a huge lunch....that really is starting to bug me. "Vegetables are so boring"...that's what she said....when I think about this I can't help but shake my head.....HOLY!!!She should be advocating eating a healthier diet..
All in all, I feel good, and will carry on...
