Update on My Cancer Battle Plan

It's time for me to give an update. First, I'm still around and doing fairly well. My first round of chemo didn't go well at all. I think it was mostly due to being afraid and newly diagnosed. I was scheduled for 8 cycles of chemo (4 dose densed of AC - adrimyacin / cytoxin and 4 taxotere). I made it through 2 cycles and quit. In fact I ran away, left the state and went to my parents. While there I had high dose vitamin c infusions. But I was sick and weak for months following those treatments.

In mid-January my breast surgeon convinced me to continue with medical treatments of some kind. I was going to any way, I just needed things to slow down just a little so that I could make decisions that were best for me. In May 2011 I had a bilateral mastectomy and so far have chosen no reconstruction. I'm happy with this decision. I'm also continuing chemo (taxotere / cytoxin). Although this round is going better, there are still painful side effects and the neuropathy in my hands and feet have become worse. I plan to finish chemo (half way to the end).

It's the mind control that cancer diagnosis seems to have that I'm fighting daily. It's not stronger than I am. Besides, I'm in remission and I'm using nutrition, supplementation, exercise, meditation, visualization, and prayer to keep recurrence away.

I have plans to live a long, joyous, healthy life. Just thought you should know.
