When
I was first diagnosed with cancer, I think I was more afraid of the treatments
than the actual disease. Surgery was no picnic, but turned out to be
easier than I expected. Now I am at the end of my first two weeks of
chemotherapy and radiation treatments. So far things have gone well
enough. I don’t ever feel great, but I also have not gotten sick puked,
although Wednesday had me closer than I have been in a long time. The
doctors warned me that the worst side effect would be fatigue. They were
not lying. I have never felt so run down in my life. I get the weekends
off from radiation, which is great, but I am still pretty fatigued throughout
the day, just not as much as during the week.
As
mentioned, I am also battling this with the ketogenic diet. So far this
has been going well, and tomorrow we are meeting with Miriam Kalamian, a
nutrition specialist who focuses on this type of diet, specifically for cancer
and other metabolic diseases. With Miriam’s help I am confident the
remaining pieces of info will be in hand to see this diet through. By the
way, I started my morning with a Canadian bacon,
onion, spinach and cheese frittata. That is my kind of diet breakfast!
