Today I met with my Gynecological Oncologist. I have full confidence in her, her care and capabilities. I get a feeling that she really cares about me and she is fully dedicated to what she does. I have really struggled with the thought of chemotherapy over the last couple of weeks since my surgery. It has been a sea of emotion to say the least. Basically what it comes down to now is me having the confidence in Chemotherapy to cure my cancer. I feel confident that it is the best source of treatment that I have at my disposal at this day and time. I do feel that with clincal trials on the horizon that there will be more efficent drugs down the line. I also feel that prevention is the best method and I plan on getting on a super charged nutrition plan once Chemotherapy is over in order to make sure my immune system is working at it highest level to keep cancer from recurring. I have basically been a healthy person my whole life, eating a balanced diet and exercising but my downfall has always been sugar. I have recently learned that sugar really does feed cancer. I am currently cutting back my sugar intake and I encourage anyone reading this to do the same. Sugar causes inflammation in the body and cancer is a type of inflammation. Not to mention sugar is just not good for any disease.
Im sure Chemotherapy is not going to be a walk in the park but I know I will make it through it. All of my organs are healthy and strong, which gives me a positive outlook for being cured. I know that God led me to that fertility clinic in order for me to catch this early. I thought I was going to gain help that day for having children but now I know that visit was to save my life. God is in control and he has a plan through all of this. I have faith!
Please, Please Please ladies have your OBGYN do a blood test on you to check your CA125 levels, which is a cancer marker. A regular check up does not detect it. Symptoms for ovarian cancer are almost non-existent until its too late. I caught this early, which was a miracle. I had no symptoms at all but some of the symptoms are bloating, constipation, painful sex, frequent urination and increasaed abdomen girth. As you see, these symptoms are not very prevalent so its best to go ahead and have your blood checked to be safe...Especially if you have any type of cancer whatsoever in your family tree.
The road ahead is not going to be easy but I know God will be walking right there beside me. My faith is not shaken and my will is strong!
