Alchemo Blessing III

August 28, 2019 by Helena Trent 4 Comments

Another week to another alchemo session on Wednesday, 9/4 from 8:30am to 11am, EST. These sessions get shorter as my body is adjusting to the medication and they are able to administer it at a faster rate, same dose less time.

I show up and the nurses all know me as the “special one”. 🙂 Because I always have a special request of holding my medicine before they hook it up to my IV. I hold the medicine and chant to it silently, allow my body to feel it, integrate it, direct it to search and destroy cancer cells, kill the disease without killing the person and with that for the benefit of all beings. It takes a couple of minutes for my body to feel and accept the drug externally before I take it internally. The nurses now learn to hand me each drug, walk away to do their little tasks and come back in a few minutes. lol! I appreciate their patience and allow me the time with my little rituals. I am also the only person that alternates between sitting meditation and walking the hallway toting my IV tree around while I get my treatment. They are all so nice giving me the space to do so.

After this one, I only have one more to go at the end of September. I am already planning all the tai chi trips I could go on. I still have maintenance doses I need to do ongoing on a regular basis, but it wouldn’t be as intense. The maintenance drug I receive is not considered chemo. It’s a drug that inhibits the formation of blood vessels so tumors can’t grow.

At stage 4 cancer, there is no such thing as remission in doctors’ books, it’s all about extend and prolong life, but doctors don’t know everything… neither do I. I only need to take one breath at a time, live one day at a time, do one treatment at a time. The rest is taken cared of by life. I have come to know the essence of living is really that simple.

Another New School Year

August 24, 2019 by Helena Trent 2 Comments

David started 10th grade this past Thursday. Friday night was the first football night of the season. David plays clarinet in the matching band. I don’t watch the football game but I would show up just for the half-time show. The PR Band is a very impressive bunch, 250 students in the band. They are an army!!! Every school year, they do a big trip performance. They performed at Disney last school year, will be going to the Kentucky Derby this year. I am happy to see a home game during the football season. When they match onto the football field, it is quite a sight! It always uplifts my spirit. I am not even there to watch David because he wouldn’t tell me where he is. lol! I just enjoy the music and the performance knowing my son is having fun and part of something bigger than himself.

He is somewhere in here. I have no idea!

Awake…

August 17, 2019 by Helena Trent Leave a Comment

This sleeping beauty is finally coming out of her coma! LOL! I slept and slept, woke up enough to eat and went back to sleep for the last few days. The good news is I didn’t throw up and had no diarrhea this time. All and all I am handling it much better than last time! Energy is already starting to return slowly but noticeably. I am getting a handle on this! By the time I finish my chemo treatments, I will be a pro… and no need to ever do it again. Hahaha!

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, weapon sets, tai chi sets. Love to you all with my deepest gratitude!
