Feeling good! Starting Week 3 of 6

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some of my experience so far, main because I’m feeling like normal again after a few adjustments that I did and I know how important is to read something positive along this way.

I‘ve been through 2 chemos and 8 external radiation so far:

First chemo: A miserable experience. worst night ever, nauseas and vomited. Now I know I should’ve started taking one medication in advance. the day post chemo, miserable as well. So tired and nauseous. No appetite. I’ve been loosing weight like from 118 to 110 in just 10 days.

Second chemo: Same bad experience the same day and then SOMETHING CHANGED. I decided to buy some gummies (cb*d 5:1 Th*c - 50 mg/10 mg). OMG. LIFE CHANGING. I know this is not suitable for everyone but it changed how I feel during the day. I have 0 nausea, I recovered my appetite and I don’t feel much of a fatigue now. I sleep through the night and mornings are normal again. the 2 previous weeks I would start the day so so nauseous and non appetite at all.

also, I was experiencing a lot of heartburn and I bought and antacid and that’s it, living almost as normal. Again, no effect from radiation (yet? so far so good), I’m doing a lot of supplements and creams and all I can to be as normal and nourished as possible.

I’m writing this 5:49 am because I just woke up, I was hungry! I don’t know if someone needed to read this, but well, this literally was my life-saver thing to do. Listen to your body!

Sending love and light. I still have a long way to walk, I’ll be sharing updates! Also, since I go to radiation with blindfolds and start meditating during the session, I do feel better in general.

Advices? Starting CHEMORADIATION tomorrow.

Update: Day 2 after chemo, and I started feeling as sh*t yesterday night. Having said that: Hi ladies! my name is Leo (36F) and I’m starting tomorrow my treatment for IIB cervical cancer. 25 radiation and chemo once a week for 5/6 weeks + BRQ. I live in Golden, CO!

I’m looking for any piece of advice that can make my life easier during this difficult time, in any aspect. I really appreciate it.

thank you and sending love ❤️
