Just 5 days ago, I received confirmation from my Dr. that the new cancer cells in my lungs and liver, were metastatic from the kidney cancer. Most of the research I've done on Metastatic cancer, refer to breast cancer but the reality is, if a new bout of cancer develops from a previous organ/area of the body, the cancer metastasized and the cancer in the new organ/area, is called cancer of the original maligned area. In my case, I still have kidney cancer, even though the small cancer cells (4 of them and none larger that 1cm) are now in my lungs and liver. Go figure!
In my conversation with the Oncologist, we discussed treatment and possible side effects from the Chemo. The thought of putting toxins in my body to kill a disease seems a bit oxymoron to me but that's the Rx. I believe God has already healed me and restored health to my body; however, I must go forward with the treatment. I know God has bestowed incredible talent on medics, researchers, pharmacist and the treatment they've prescribed for me is part of me being healed. I'm not afraid, worried or concerned about chemo but what I will do is prepare my body for the fight.
To ensure the side effects from chemo are minimal and my body responds appropriately to the treatment, I'm making the following lifestyle changes:
1 - Clean Eating. I purchased a NutriBullet Rx and I'm blending lots of greens, blueberries, ginger and the best anti carcinogen, Turmeric.
2 - New Nail Aesthetician. Why? Because I need a salon that goes the extra step to ensure safety of their customers. Chemo often compromises the immune system and a nail shop that uses tub liners, disposable filing tools, foot scrubs, etc..means that my chances of contracting a disease from an unsanitary foot bowl or reusing tools from someone with infected nails are minimal and very important to me.
3 - Yoga. Not only does this form of exercise relieve stress and stretches out overworked muscles, it strengthens and grounds (centers) the body.
4 - Words of Encouragement. Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that "The Tongue has the power of life and death"; therefore, I will speak positive words to myself and demand the same of others.
5 - Repeat 1-4 as often as necessary.
6 - 100% Stainless Steel Pots & Pans. I currently own a set of stainless steel pots & pans but the pans are non-stick coated. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, in conjunction with Teflon, when heated slowly releases a carcinogen. That carcinogen goes into the food, which ultimately goes into our body. About Cancer and Teflon
7 - Live. In spite of cancer. In spite of people's fear of the disease. Believe that.... #GodHealedMe #ImCancerFree #Exodus15:26 #JehovahRaphaGotMe #Psalms91:5-6 #LivingMyGoldenLife
In Life & Perfect Health,
