Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Back to normal

Hi there!!! Well things here are good. I woke up on Monday feeling 10/10. I went to the gym to do my weight class and that felt good. I ran Tuesday (last nice day before the cold weather) and did weights again on Wednesday. I am on an upswing in the white blood count area. I will enjoy the weekend before we start chemo again on the 19th.

I went to a class at the Tom Baker called Breast Cancer and Nutrition. I left totally frustrated and confused. The books that I read say eat flaxseed and drink soy rather than dairy. Then at this seminar they say don't eat flaxseed or drink soy because they contain plant estrogen. So now what do I do. I hate to intentionally add something to my diet that will in the long run hurt my chances of staying cancer free. I guess when they don't know what causes breast cancer it is hard to determine what is good and what is bad. However that doesn't help me. I suppose I will stop taking flaxseed until I talk to my oncologist.

Not much else new other than trying to stay warm.
