Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago the cost of holiday insurance has escalated so this year we decided to changes our provider. I looked up payingtoomuch.com and found a company trust2travel who offered a fee of about one quarter of our old company's offer. We accepted this . Trust2travel phone number is 012343784000if you prefer to speak to a person. Just make sure that you answer all the questions carefully and correctly as wrong answers can invalidate your insurance.

Yesterday, due to treatments, antihistimine, I got little done. Just seemed drowsy. Today, energy is better, no nausea. I will be home, open the shades, enjoy the sunshine, finish the clothes I put in the washer yesterday, and watch a son on live stream lead music at his church in Orlando. That is an hour and half program.
My heart is filled with love for everybody and prayers. What a worshipful experience, serving this way, though I would rather be present in a spirit filled church with...
A lot has happened since my last post, mainly we have moved house after 15 years in our old one. It was way too big for us, and was getting me down , but we are not buying a new one in the short term but renting with a plan!

This week I managed to get 6 sessions of lymphatic drainage massage through NHS. People speak to your specialists as they can refer you. I was told NHS doesn't refer, my question was what happened to preventative treatment. I showed the results of me having these massages have saved me from pain and discomfort. Through these massages I had no problem with movement on both arms and will not develop Lymphodema on my arm. My Lymphodema specialists was very understanding and as I have started the treatment...
I start radiation this next Tuesday. I have been diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer. I have had a thyroidectomy plus a neck dissection which removed 46 lymph nodes.
I am 47 years old and all of this has happened over the last two months.
I have been juicing. I start radiation and only radiation. Dr. Wanted me to do chemo on top of the radiation. I can’t in good concoious do that. My cancer has no cure. I can contain it but it will come back.
What I want to do is write about my journey...
Seems I dreaded this round as much as the others, but other than taking a nausea pill, on top of having a patch, things are going well.
Keeping up with Prednisone every two hours and other occupying activities, washing, cooking, are enough. Finished reading FAITH THAT HURTS FAITH THAT HEALS. Good reading.
