3 of 4 and next just 4 more!

This time has been rough! Worst Nausea ever!! Just today I could stomach trying to eat cantaloupe. Which tastes decent, but not great. My preference would be nothing but if I do not eat occasionally it purpetuates more nausea. Same thing with the water intake. I have to flush out the toxins, but water tastes REALLY gross right now.

I wish I had something positive and uplifting to say.
Let's see: I am still feeling very supported. Shelli is my angel. She has managed in her busy schedule to come to all 3 of my infusion treatments. Amazing and so dedicated. And each time with she & Cooper around it lightens the mood. Almost fun. Aside from the needles and chemo. You know, that can be gross. But my nurses made it easy too. I heart Sandra Cunningham. Best nurse EVER! In all honestly the relationship stuff can be tough. Because you need so much from your partner. More than they could ever understand or predict. I just need to remember that this is my fight and I cannot expect him to read my mind. But my loving fiancee is off to Jamba Juice this morning to grab me a Mango a Go Go. Which typically I would not drink due to it's sugar content. But it is the ONLY thing I am craving this morning. Possibly the only thing I can hold down. Thanks Coop! Oh and another very positive and exciting thing is that this was dose 3 of 4 AC/Doxyrubicin treatments and then onto Taxol. AC is known to be the roughest. So just 1 more in 2 weeks from now and then I may be able to feel better sooner. And some women grow hair back on Taxol too! Let's hope ;)

I can say that the raw diet give or take a few cheats has served me well over the last 6 days. I really do crave mostly fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts/seeds. Very wierd, but I never was a huge meat fan to begin with. As a kid I would push all meat aside. And was a vegetarian of sorts in my high school years. Then bad habits formed after leaving Eugene, OR and moving to Portland. Seattle made it much worse because I became kind of a foodie. Foi Gras does not exactly fit into the health food category.

I know I can stick to at least 80-90% raw food diet. Occasionally I want pasta though!

Anyway I am excited for the 100 More Years auction at Shelli's church this Saturday. Hopefully my stomach will recover by that time. And I am super excited for Beth's visit next weekend! Eek have not seen her in forever. And I am still trying to upload pictures from the race this past Sunday where Chelsea, Adam, Jayme, Mizzy, Apryl, Leisy, her cousin and Cooper came out to support the NW Hope & Healing foundation. Only a 5K, but I actually enjoyed a little jogging and mostly goofing around and talking the whole way. Cooper came in last and was damn proud of it! I am debating over whether the NY marathon will be beneficial to me next year or if it will tear my body down more than strengthen both body & spirit. ?? Anyone who knows a medium athletic type who has run a full marathon that has any tips or suggestions,..send em my way!

Thanks for reading. Love, Hope and happiness.....Becky
