Round Three

Round three was supposed to happen last week. I felt like I was already for round three, but after the labs came back my platelets were too low to move forward without waiting a little more time. My doctor said by this week I would be ready to go ahead. I started my fast from food Sunday night. I was able to learn a little bit more about the fasting. My plan at this time is to wait till Wednesday afternoon to eat. See the post Round Two for more information if you missed it. I do drink water.

I am feeling a little too good, the steroids have me awake and it is 1:50am. After my hike to the cave last week I decided to have a big goal each time I am in my really good week. Today I worked pulling and cutting weeds for 4 hours in my garden. The Bindweed had vined and was seeding. Bindweed is in the top 10 list for noxious weeds and the Dandelions were exploding umbrellas with seed presents for me for next year all over the place. It looks much better now.

If you are nearby and like Swiss Chard let me know I'll try to bring you some.

Its 2:25am now. I'll make another attempt at sleep and will attach any further developments later today in this post

I'm at the end one day out on my third chemo. I am amazed at how well I have done this time. WOW! I think my fasting from food, from Sunday evening until 2:00 today, Wednesday, has paid great dividends in how well things are going. All side effects have been greatly reduced compared to my other infusions.  I also did acupuncture today. I was speaking with the acupuncturist today I told her about my fasting, hypnotist appointment yesterday, and my great support team and prayers. I told her how much all of this was helping me. She told me about a patient that, as he started to get better his wife had called and told many of their friends and family that he was doing better. The prayers stopped and he began to do poorly again. He said he could physically feel that the prayers weren't there. His wife recalled everyone and the praying resumed, he could feel those prayers and began to improve. I just want to let you know that I feel your sustaining prayers in my behalf. Thank you for helping me do so well and keeping me in your prayers.
