June cancer gofund me

Finally some good news to report! For the past 3 months I have been taking an oral chemotherapy pill daily in hopes of helping to slow my cancer from growing. I had my CT scan this week and was told by my Oncologist that there are still 4 tumors in my pelvis and abdomen that they are watching. This recent scan showed that some are growing a little bit, one is the same size, and one has become a little smaller compared to my scan 3 months ago. The Dr. considers this response to the medication to be good. I will continue taking this chemo med for the next 3 months until I have a repeat CT scan. 

I have had a lot of people ask how I am feeling lately.... For the most part I feel pretty good. This medication makes me very very tired (a fatigue that a nap doesn't fix) and I also get bad joint pains to the point I can't walk, but compared to what I have already been through I am pushing through the side effects. I have found that going to the gym has given me a positive outlet for stress and has helped me to get much stronger. I have also been focusing a lot on alternative treatments including: acupuncture, diet changes (no more dairy, sugar or meat- all of these feed cancer), supplements to boost my immune system, and staying active. 
I have been working full time as a Physical Therapist in South Jordan and enjoy healing others, but unfortunately by the end of the week I am too exhausted to do much and end up sleeping most of the weekend. I never thought I would have to make a choice between cleaning my house or grocery shopping on the weekend, but my energy only allows me to do one. Also trying to be the best mom to my 4 and 2 year old girls keeps me very busy, but I can't complain....they are so sweet and keep me positive! 

I appreciate everyone's love, prayers, kindness and donations in my behalf. I will continue to fight this Cancer with all I have!
