Tomorrow starts my chemotherapy preparation week. I am having a Pet Scan which will view my entire body for any signs of cancer. I must tell you I am nervous about it. This is considered my baseline, meaning it will show were the cancer is and will be followed up routinely to monitor the effectiveness of my treatment. I will need to have an Intravenous injection for some type of dye for my Pet Scan. I am allergic to iodine dye, but they said it will be one that does not have iodine in it. You have to have this with your Pet Scan for the “cancer areas” to show up. I have to eat only protein, veggies and dairy today so I do not interfere with the test. I had a lot of carrot juice, a hamburger for my anemia and fresh beets so far today. We are going to eat rare meat and lots of veggies, water and carrot juice today. I want to tell you that I am taking more of the tumeric and it really seems to help me not have as much inflammation in my stomach. I even read that tumeric can cure bowel cancer. It is used in curries. Arnica is also great for inflammation. You can buy it as a cream to use like aspercream or in pill form. That helps too. It is really warm today. I am going to push myself to get outside and exercise because my Oncologisttold me I need to exercise as much as possible to get strong for my chemotherapy. I know I can do anything I put my mind to doing. All our dreams can come true, we just need to truly believe in them. This means never doubting ourselves. I know I am human and gets doubts, but I will also do all I can to stop my doubts and believe that “I will be healthy and free of cancer, I will be healthy and free of cancer, I will be healthy and free of cancer”. Give yourself positive affirmations every day and say them repeatedly and you will believe, you will be well. God Bless you, Gia
