Dare I Say….

Author: Shannon Miller

Dare I say…I feel great today!! I don’t want to jinx anything but I’m really excited to have my energy back and, frankly, just feel normal again. This morning I did an interview with First Coast Connect and a gentleman called in mentioning some studies on Vitamin D and chemo. I’ve had countless tips and products mentioned in letters, e-mail, tweets and Facebook. And they continue to roll in.

In the weeks to come we will be asking our expert physicians, nurses and therapists about these ideas and how they can work for those going through chemo. Which ones are best before, during and after chemo. Does it matter what kind of treatment you’re getting and what kind of cancer your battling? There is no shortage of alternative therapies and we want to know which ones will work for you (and me)!

So far it has been a trial and error process to finding those “good” days. I’ll be honest, there were a few days last week where I simply didn’t think I was going to be able to handle this for 8 more weeks.  But I have to say, I am more excited than ever with how I feel. So if you’ve hit one of those dark days, please know that it WILL pass. You will feel better. You will get through. Take it easy on those rough days and live life on the good ones. We can do this!!
