Murphy Brown

 


OMG how did I forget how much I loved, and still love, this show!  With chemo, I have gotten quite "ok" with tv watching when my body and brain can't seem to do much else.  LOL, back to good ol' Kris..."if you can't get out of something, get into it!"  I LOVE THAT and it puts words to how I approach most of my life and right now I'm getting into lots of TV.

So I stumbled on Murphy Brown reruns and it's been fun watching reruns as I go to sleep.  Forgot just how much I loved this show!!!  Last couple episodes were about her learning she had breast cancer, which I'd also forgotten.


Last night, I got lucky to watch the episode with her first chemo experience that concluded with Jim buying & smoking pot with her to help the nausea.  Fun parts, for meEmoji, were: 
  1. Yep, ditto the experience for me except she focused on just the nausea and I have equal parts nausea, splitting headaches, shakes & brain fog and 
  2. I didn't bother to rewind but when she rattled off the nausea meds that did not work, I know 3 she named are 3 of MY 4 at-home meds!!  This was filmed in 1997!!!!!  

SAME MEDS!!!  I know they fine-tune dosages (but I will continue to refuse to take them) but 2 of my main chemo drugs are ALSO old-timer drugs, just better dosing.

Crazy how much we HAVE learned and crazy how much we HAVE NOT.  I'm learning more about how aggressive my treatment has been.  Two full weeks, 3x/wk, then 1 or 2 weeks off.  Guess I'm still standing because of what they continue to learn about dosing.

So, it's amazing to see how much is the same as 24 years ago.  Wowza!!

Thanks Murphy😄

    InFebruary 2017, my immune system was not functioning correctly and my primarycare physician did a N.A.E.T. Treatment with Laser Acupuncture andAuricular Acupuncture to try to desensitize my body from the differentallergies and allergies to the metals. This procedure began to make me drained and very fatigued.  He recommended that I have a GI Stool testdone as I was having GI issues in February 2017, to check for parasites,pathogens, bacterial flora, and fungi/yeasts. The results showed that I had a Bacterial Pathogen called Salmonella,high amounts of normal bacterial flora, called Enterococcus spp. andEscherichia spp., 2 parasites called Dientamoeba fragilis and Endolimax nana, and2 types of fungi/yeasts called Candida spp. and Geotrichum spp.   The doctor recommended that I take Dr Itua Herbal Medicine to get rid of the Candida as that was the main concern at thetime and I did purchase Dr Itua Herbal Medicine and after taking it all as instructed I was totally cured so is a urged form of heart to believe in herbal medicines but yes indeed natural remedies should be recognize around the globe because is the only healing that has no side effect on each every healing, I will recommend anyone here with health challenge to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center on E-Mail  drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he capable of all kind of disease like Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Parkinson,ALS,Copd. with a complete cure without coming back.

Confidence Restoring, Thanks Linda!

So far, I had to become a complete brat to get my checkmarks done.  Feels like when I was building this house.  I new one of us was doing it for the first time (me), but I had no clue the other side ACTS like it.  So I have to become the Team Lead and that's fine, but then don't screw with me, because I WILL lead.  I'm hoping I'm restoring confidence for them as well that I only grow horns and tail as needed, then they go away. -------------------- Since each time I use Linda's name (for whatever reason), I'm still greeted with a bit of a gasp, I'm pretty confident Linda is the Grand Poo-Bah and it was a relief and huge pleasure to meet her on my first day of chemo.  Below is just for me because I don't want to lose the trail.  She played a big part in restoring my confidence and keeping me positive and resolute.  Since this we've visited a couple of times and I enjoy her immensely. (ps. with Cycle 1 about to complete, so far everything she told me w...

Cycle 3 Summary "Another One Done!"

Image
  With the end of Cycle 3, it's dawning on me, I really am almost finished!  As I start writing, it seemed like a non-eventful cycle, but as I keep writing, it was hugely eventful! I'm pissed that so far Doc Dean looks to be right.  I was really hoping my body (and mind) would start adapting and I would be maintaining better each cycle, but that's not what's happening.  My mind is fine.  My body is reacting "normally" or "as predicted," which is what currently pisses me off :)  Week 1: And... detour right off the bat!!  So far, my bloodwork has passed muster on Day 1 and I get my drugs as scheduled. Today, my bloodwork failed and this is AFTER a week off.  I was so upset.  So, in addition to my "bad" drug week, I got the extra addition of the blood med, Zarxio, to add to the fun.  First time to do this combo and I am NOT happy.   Definitely harder than the last 2 cycles.  Fatigue, constant headache, nausea and throw-ups.  ...
