treatment done. woohoo.

i could not be more stoked. treatment is officially over. a few weeks ago, i was told the chemo was eating my stomach lining. not awesome. so i had to discontinue half way through. i took a few weeks to do some psuedo cleansing, relax and work on gearing up for going totally holisitc. next, insert replacement surgery- to clean up any tumors/cysts in there and also to repair my belly. i am about a week after surgery and feeling pretty good. they did it all laproscopically. which means with robot arms and tiny cuts all over my stomach and mini video cameras and monitors. crazy, right. so its done. i feel pretty good, outside of feeling sore and like i was placed on some kind of medieval stretcher and cant bend a few ways.

ive spent about a week in bed, with yesterday being my first night out, but in a wheelchair. which sucks big time. i ditched it and used it as a walker after 11pm. so embarassing. people look at you like your half dead, i should have attached balloons to it. as well, my new enemy is big purses. trying to get through a crowd of boig purses is just irritating. so is the usual 3 excuse me's you have to say before they actually realize thier massive ass purse is in your face path.

anyway. so now i rest up, with about 3 weeks of taking it easy ahead of me. another river trip. no picking anything heavy up. although, i still cant bend below my knees anyway. ive given up all drugs and the million medications and have gone totally holistic with about 30 horse pills of supplements i take now. as well as weird tinctures, juices, foods and some acupuncture. oh and dont forget the the mushrooms teas. its been an education.

in the end, im done, now i just live healthy and right and with all the new knowledge ive accrued the last 3 months. and eating more kale, power foods and on and on. i feel good though and im happy after 3 months of treatments, a month of melting down and all the fundraisers and learning how to live better- well, here i am. not only did we fundraise enough to cover all the treatments and surgery, but ive been making more money at work finally and can start taking a bite out my past medical debt which destroyed my credit. and i can afford to shop at rainbow:)

thanks to everyone for all the support, love and cheer. im glad its mostly over, though i will always have to take supplements, eat well and continue with my healthy changes. its alot of work and time. but hey, hopefully i can kick this for good. <3
