 Today the chemo is kicking in. Anna describes it as pain from someone giving you a swift hard kick in the stomach. She’s extremely fatigued and a little dizzy. She’s still not sleeping well at night,but taking 2 naps a day. 

We are trying to load up on foods that will increase her White Blood Count. It may not be enough, but we hope it will help. 

We are loading her up on fish for omega-3s and homemade bone broth with leeks, celery, broccoli. We use it in as many meals as we can and at times, she’ll drink it from a mug. 

A few weeks ago she received a large box of processed TV dinners from her health insurer. While we can appreciate the act we continue to be perplexed by the healthcare system’s choices. Needless to say, we’re sticking to fresh, natural foods as much as we can.
