Little Anxious
Monday is another all day adventure with health care professionals. It's the day I spend at the Block Clinic. Although highly recommended and referred to us by trusted advisers I find myself just a bit anxious at yet another round of answering questions and being put in the position of cancer patient.
The lovely thing about taking responsibility for one's health is that you take back some control of what can often feel like a miasma of illness in the field of healthcare. I am reading a book right now, called Anti-Cancer, written by an MD, Ph.D. who, as a brain scientist, found himself with brain cancer. He says one of the most undisclosed and under discussed causes of the overproduction of inflammatory substances (a key factor in cancer) are "persistent feelings of helplessness, a despair that won't let up" which produces the stress hormones which are like "fertilizer for cancerous tumors". I realize that FOR ME being in a hospital setting produces a lot of stress.
So...prayers for peace and calm would be much appreciated as I go into this. Also that I would indeed find some medical assistance on my journey and be able to resume some of the therapies and treatments I did in Florida.
All is well, all will be well, all manner of things are well. Thanks be to God!
