A Change
Its been three months since I was diagnosed and during this time I have gone from feeling like the life was being sucked out of me and being in constant pain to a point where all my pain went away and I was beginning to feel healthy. My exercise has increased, I‘ve started to jog again, my attitude has gone from negative to positive. I am not sure if I am kidding myself or if I could possibly be getting better. In all of my understanding of cancer the words getting better are ones I have never heard. Lung cancer is terminal, so I thought.
Chapter 20
Mid July I am bouncing all over the internet loosing my ability to stay focused on a particular subject. Many subjects regarding cancer seem to interconnect, at least the subjects I am looking at. I find an article written by a gentleman who appears to have had some health issues. The only heading is Chapter 20.
I accepted that foods were key to good health. Such an elementary thought. After a life of eating for pleasure,
I realize that picking and choosing a healthy diet is difficult. Who’s diet does one believe in, they all have a great spiel. Some say dairy products are good and some say they are not.
I choose the thought that natural foods, uncooked, can not harm an individual, all else is open to interpretation.
Sixth Treatment
Today is the day I am told that it is time for a new tests. The Doctor talks of a bone scan. I suggest a PET scan, the doctor agrees as a PET scan is all inclusive.
Scan Day
A whole body PET scan takes about an hour and one half. You just lie there while the machine pulls you through a short tube. You are injected with a radioactive dye. This dye, in some fashion, is what the machine detects as you go through the machine.
