Day three

Day three brought sunshine for the most part of the day. Deb on the other hand had a few clouds. We think that some of the side affects of radiation may be causing her to be tired, and that was anticipated for sure. The radiation treatment at 2pm was uneventful and incredibly fast. Amazing how this department cycles folks through in what appears to be 15 minute increments. The sad observation is that there are so many people that are receiving their services.

Otherwise a regular kind of day, and that is what we are attempting to maintain. I stopped off at the grocery store on the way home from work, which turns out to be a good time to shop.

Lizz participated in a group presentation at school with apparent ease and Christopher worked a regular shift.

Our evening was typical with both of us enjoying our favourite TV shows and chatting. More correspondence from caring folks as well as a package of "miracle cure" from a well meaning employee. We are somewhat taken aback by the amount of "alternative" methods for cancer cures that are purported to really work. Deb and I agree that if her disease was not as advanced perhaps some of these alternative treatments could be an option. Naturally nothing will be considered without consultation with our oncology team.

Early on, I contacted our friend Pa in the Cook Islands, a healer that both Deb and I know from years ago. He responded (through his wife via e-mail) that Sour Sop is the best product to shrink tumours. As a matter of fact there is a tree in our conservatory and the research actually substantiates what Pa had to say. This we will also discuss with the team.

Again, thanks for you kind words, prayers, good energies and all that is sent Deb's way, we know that this works.
