Chemo is no longer a treatment option. The past two years have been the longest I have endured. In someways stopping chemo has been such a relief. For the sake of my family and their hope that it will work I am trying an herbal treatment. I have to admit on here that I do not have much hope. If it makes my children feel better then I will try it. I never want them to think that I ever gave up a moment of time to be here with them.
My ex actually paid for the cost of the expensive treatments. (which was a shock) I think he too never wants the kids to feel like he did not do all he could to keep me with them for as long as possible.
It is just drinking a herbal american indian tea and other vitamins. It may not extend my life, but I am hoping that it makes me feel somewhat better with more energy and that alone will be a blessing. I have done my research and checked with my psych doctor and nothing conflicts with my medications. So today I start drinking this tea three times a day.
On another note, nightmares have been horrible. I am not sure if the nightmares are worse due to the pain medications. They seem to real. Trying to get away from my parents who were my abusers, sometimes my kids with me and trying to get my kids to safety. I know in actual life this is not a worry as my father died in prison and my mother is still in prison. Still it shakes me up a great deal.
