I'm Still Standin'

When I went for my Dr. appt. on the tenth the nurse had me hooked up for chemo.  I told her, "Oh , no, I'm finished, I'm not here for chemo today."  Long story short.  I was wrong.  The Dr. had every intention of keeping me on for four more months.  I was not prepared for that and in fact resisted a bit but he convinced me the cancer would continue to grow if I did not fight it with the chemo.  He told us that he has a patient with a similar situation as mine who has done continuous treatments for four years and is still alive.  I wondered how damaged her body is from all of those treatments.  In the back of my mind I was determined to fight it with my natural remedies but decided I would just do both.  We did get new antigen numbers this morning and they are down by 95 points.  Yay!

In spite of the chemo and the fatigue, I rode my bike with Maxine yesterday and today for our first of the season rides along the river bike trail.  I am exhausted but it was worth it! I'm still standing'.
