Friday Feb 9

So Sorry for not posting for the last few days....The chemo began on Monday and was difficult but did not make me sick. I went from 128 to 141 lbs in 3 days. I felt like an elephant and spent Wednesday on my knees asking Ganesh to help me understand the lesson on the elephant! For those of you who do not know, Ganesh is the hindu God of wisdom and prosperity who is an elephant....
Your prayers have kept me up. Keeping up has a whole new meaning for me. It is about learning to accept myself in all things, not judge and forgive. The medical system is filled with very loving and wonderful people who are dealing with incredible suffering and pain each day. I have such respect for them.
The most challenging thing these last few days has been the realization that the disease in my body will leave for good if and only if I accept myself, my true, authentic, God-self. I know I have been acting as if I had done that all along, but I am here to tell you I have not. I know I can beat this disease. I am not and will not live sick. I am alive and want to become really alive in each and every moment. That is my prayer.
The really excellent news is that the pain in my right side is totally gone. My breath is still not as deep or long, but I know that will improve. I want my yoga breath back and I will have it. I have not had to take any pain medication at all for several days, and last night did not even do the cough medication. Praise God and all the angels.
May the light of God shine on all. Blessings and thanks again for your prayers.

Making the realization that you have takes such courage and strength. It is exactly those qualities that WILL get you through this, and when you come through it, you will be stronger than steel. Your compassion is unshakable.

My love will always be with you.

Love,

P.S.- Please don't apologize for not posting. Sometimes, you need some time to digest and process all that is happening to you, and trying to communicate interferes with that. We all know that you will update us when you can.

Hello Martha,
I found out about your diagnosis a couple of weeks ago and you have been in my thoughts often. I think of you several times a day and send up a prayer. You have such fight and strength and a love for life and others, I know you can win this battle. My friend had stage four cancer and went to a hospital in chicago called Cancer Treatment Center of America, in the Midwestern Regional Hospital, 847-872-6246, they combine alternative medicine with traditional medical treatment. He is now cancer free and credits much of his success to the treatment he received at that center. You are in my prayers.
Love Destiny
