On My Way to Recovery

September 24, 2019 by Helena Trent 5 Comments

I had my last alchemo session today. Everything went very smoothly and I feel great! Thank you for your support and your prayers!!

Good news, I have my CT scan results back. All tumors shrunk and no new spots popped up, my bones showed signs of healing. Not bad after 3 chemo sessions! My oncologist is very happy with the results. The plan was 4 chemo treatments so I completed that today, now I move into the maintenance phase as planned. I could choose to have no chemo at all from now on, but since I have handled chemo exceptionally well, my oncologist decided to keep me on one of the low side effect chemo drug for a few more times just to speed up the tumor shrinking. We will see how I do with that. He took away the drug that has heavy side effects so I should not feel the nausea, low energy, etc. associated with chemo after treatments. If I don’t like it, he would take it away, but given how well I have done so far, I agreed to give it a try.

They will give me an MRI of the brain on 10/11 just to make sure brain tumors didn’t come back. It has no reason to since they have been cleared the last 2 scans.

My blood work results have also shown improvements. Many blood markers are moving back into the normal range or very close to it. Things are again looking up! Today is a good news day! 🙂

Thank you for all your prayers, encouragements, support on so many ways and so many levels! I know I could not have done this on my own. Many blessings to you all!
