Still Home

I am surprised that I am getting through this cold/flu without using any medicine. Equally surprised to be well enough to get sick if you know what I mean. My body isn't so entangled with warding off some monster disease and it can deal with the cold. I didn't get any colds while I was undergoing cancer treatment.

I am really trying to boost my immune system. My friend gave me a book about alternative cancer care, and they make a lot of good points about revving up the immune system to prepare it to deal with cancer. After all, the good Lord did create the human body to repair itself. Of course, we tend to get in the way with our polluted environment and processed foods and toxic junk.

Anyway, I have gradually been adding in more fresh fruits and cooked veggies. Maybe its making a difference! I have researched a couple of natural supplements to take, and once I am over this, I will try some. I gotta say I just don't want to try radiation or chemo again. I have NOT made up my mind about how to respond to the recent PET scan. I am waiting to hear something more concrete.

Kiel thinks I should go to Mass General for a second opinion. I may just do that. I don't know yet. Maybe by procrastinating, I won't have to do anything! (how naive!) Meanwhile, my flu has calmed down some, but the tiredness is hefty and the sinuses are still clogged, and yesterday felt so good I decided to repeat the stay home part. Which I am doing. Mazel tov.
