ALLOW YOUR HEART TO EXPAND

First visit to Oncology

    The serious stuff starts now .
Alexander and Monica came with me for support .
Elliot and Alexander, who were on their way to preschool happened to get on the same bus as me.

Lovely surprise .

Elliot was shy, silent and a little taken aback not expecting grandma to be on the bus so early in the morning, seeing them both made me feel happy inside; a good omen and a good start.

Had a few minutes to myself at the hospital , waiting for Alex and Monica to arrive .
First , we met my nurse , Elin and then the doctor , Agneta  who was very nice, was present , explained things carefully , listened and answered our questions .
I'm to have three rounds of chemo ( Cisplatin and Gemzar ) starting next week, each round is 28 days
Round one starts on Tuesday , 08:30 am , 30th September and involves an overnight stay in hospital.

The following sessions for round one are on 8th October and 15th October.

Blimey.
I'm new to this.

Never liked the idea of chemo ; the thought poison being pumped into my body has never been very appealing. I've dreaded it and always said I would refuse , but now that it is here , staring me in the face as part of " THE WICKED PLAN "  I am prepared and willing to submit.

I have decided to go along with 'The Plan' and intend to enter into this wholeheartedly.
After all ,  " what doesn't kill you , only makes you stronger ".

Let's see how it goes.
Bring it on.
Affirming : I am in good hands and everything is unfolding in divine order.
My job is to relax , breathe and allow the destruction and rebuilding to take place.

So, if you happen to be reading this , please send love light and good vibes to me during these chemo sessions and recovery day.  Thank you , thank you , thank you .

Hi Mara,

Sounds long, hard and gruelling, so it is good that you are entering the programme wholeheartedly. Three times 28 sessions seems like hell of a lot. Is that because after the first (over night stay) session the theory is to give you a little each time but often?

I shall be thinking of you and wishing you well.

Ninghal.

Thanks Ning ,
I tried to email you from the hospital , but for some reason emails tended not to go through.

It's not 3 x28, but 3 x3 - 3 sessions in each cycle.
Not sure if there's an overnight stay start of every cycle , or if it is just the start of this first cycle. Next Tuesday I have 1 hour and then the follow Tuesday one hour again and leave bloods the day before .

Thank you for all your good vibes !
Love love love ....

I can imagine only the fear that comes up at a time like this bless you sweet lady you are so lovely and courageous and connected to people all over the globe sending you healing love and you are in our thoughts . Love Love love your way xoxoxoxoxo

Hiya Christime :-)

Yes - Jo Dunning said too about her experience of Pain Management - when all her body was hurting , she found the only place that was not was her big toe . She focused on that and then another part , so easing out the pain . Best to accentuate the positive . Focus on being well , things that make you happy while noticing the things that are not , but in a way giving them less power and energy . .

Gratitude , being grateful for blessings and gifts has changed my life . I am SO grateful for you and my global soul family sending me healing love and wonderful thoughts. Thank you .. love love love Christine xxx
