Hello my dear colleagues. Thursday was my second cycle of chemotherapy with the new medications. Thank God I have not had any major symptoms and I can still do all my things, which is what worries me the most since I am the one who goes out to look for medicine, food and take tests without problems.

And as always, I was accompanied by my dear and beloved sister, who gets upset if I don't take her as my companion to help me. The companion is for the things that one needs to buy in case something is missing among the supplies that we must bring, she is the one who would have to go to a pharmacy that is around the hospital and is the one who must accompany the patient to go to the hospital. bathroom to help him since we have a hand immobilized with the helmet and the medicine put in the solution.

That day I got up at 5 in the morning since the night before we had no electricity (they turn off the electricity for 4 hours every day and we almost always have it between 9 and 1 am.) and since it didn't give me time to pack my suitcase with my sheets, my blanket and my medications so I had to get up early. I had to have breakfast, I ate cooked banana with cheese and took Aprepitan, which is a medication to counteract the symptoms of fatigue.

When we arrived they informed us that the bell in the room where they prepare the medications is damaged, but that they would still attend to us. It just took time since they took all the supplies and medications for another oncology that is half an hour from the hospital and they returned at 12 noon. Upon returning they immediately placed all the solutions with their treatments on each patient. Even so, I left at 3 in the afternoon since this treatment must be administered slowly because it is strong and can cause a reaction. Thank God I didn't need to be injected with Hydrocortizone, that's progress.

The room was full due to the problem with the bell, no one had been served this week. But they still treated us very well, as always. The Foundation also visited us. Take some time for yourself, bringing a little of the word of God, praise, a snack and a lot of information to help us in some cases about treatments. It was really helpful.

I give infinite thanks to God for all the beings that he has placed in my path that have made this desert no longer look so desolate, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and with the company of all of you, your words, your prayers and All your positivism has helped me a lot to change the way I see and feel things. Infinite grace from the bottom of my heart.

Traduccion al Español:

Hola mis queridos compañeros. El dia Jueves fue mi segundo ciclo de quimioterapia con los nuevos medicamentos. Gracias a Dios no he tenido mayores sintomas y aun puedo hacer todas mis cosas que es lo que mas me preocupa ya que yo soy la que salgo a buscar medicinas, alimentos y hacerme examenes sin problemas.

Y como siempre me acompaño mi querida y amada hermana que se disgusta si no la llevo como mi acompañante para ayudarme. El acompañante es para las cosas que uno necesite comprar por si ha faltado algo dentro de los insumos que debemos llevar, ella es la que tendria que ir a una farmacia que esta por los alrededores del hospital y es quien debe acompañar al paciente a ir al baño para ayudarlo ya que tenemos una mano inmovilizada con el yelco y la medicina puesta en la solucion.

Ese dia me levante a las 5 de la mañana ya que la noche anterior no tuvimos luz (nos quitan la luz durante 4 horas todos los dias y a nosotros nos toca casi siempre en el horario de 9 a 1 am.) y como no me dio tiempo de hacer mi maleta con mis sabanas, mi cobija y mis medicamentos entonces tuve que levantarme temprano. Debo ir desayunada, comi platano cocido con queso y tome el Aprepitan que es un medicamento para contrarrestrar los sintomas de fatiga.

Cuando llegamos nos informaron que la campana de la sala donde preparan los medicamentos esta dañada, pero que aun asi nos iban a atender. Solo que tomo tiempo ya que se llevaron todos los insumos y medicamentos para otro oncologico que esta a media hora del hospital y regresaron a las 12 del medio dia. Al regresar enseguida colocaron todas las soluciones con sus tratamientos a cada paciente. Aun asi sali a las 3 de la tarde ya que este tratamiento se debe suministrar lentamente porque es fuerte y puede dar reaccion. Gracias a Dios no necesite que me inyectaran Hidrocortizona, eso es un avance.

La sala estaba llena debido al problema de la campana no habian atendido a nadie en esta semana. Pero aun asi nos atendieron muy bien, como siempre. Tambien nos visito la Fundacion Tomate un tiempo para ti, llevando un poco de la palabra de Dios, de alabanzas, un refrigerio y mucha informacion para ayudarnos en algunos casos sobre los tratamientos. Fue de mucha ayuda en verdad.

Le doy infinitas gracias a Dios por todos los seres que ha puesto en mi camino que han hecho que este desierto ya no se vea tan desolado, hay una luz al final del tunel y con la compañia de todos ustedes, sus palabras, sus oraciones y todo su positivismo me han ayudado mucho a cambiar mi forma de ver y sentir las cosas. Gracia infinitas desde el fondo de mi corazon.

You're continuing to put up a great fight! Hopefully you can still enjoy life on the side... Hugs from Germany!

Thank you so much for your support and prayer. Amen.

Judging by your story, the treatment is successful. We wish you a speedy recovery. All hope is in God and we believe that he will not leave you.

Thank you very much friends. He can do this.

You are so very brave to be going through all of this @isabelpena and you still manage to do it all with courage and a positive outlook which is amazing! I don't think you know this - as we did not speak for a few years when I stopped writing, but my mom passed away from breast cancer in June 2020. She never did chemo. She refused. I think the idea of everything she would have to go through scared her terribly... so that is why I take my hat off to you for having the courage to do this!!

It is wonderful too, that you have people who are kind enough to come and lighten up the mood for the day. I read a book once, which was about a woman who healed her own cancer and one of the things she mentioned at the beginning of the book was that she started watching comedies every single day. It has been said by many that "laughter is the best medicine" and there is a lot of truth in that, because laughter is a positive distraction which reduces stress.

So perhaps you need to start watching some good laughs too! :)

I wish you a week of physical peace, ease and comfort Isabel. Take care sweetie. Lots of love - AND LAUGHS!!! xxx


Eres muy valiente al pasar por todo esto @ isabelpena y aún así logras hacerlo con valentía y una actitud positiva, ¡lo cual es increíble! No creo que lo sepas, ya que no hablamos durante algunos años cuando dejé de escribir, pero mi madre falleció de cáncer de mama en junio de 2020. Nunca hizo quimioterapia. Ella lo rechazó. Creo que la idea de todo lo que tendría que pasar la asustó muchísimo... ¡¡por eso me quito el sombrero ante ti por tener el coraje de hacer esto!!

También es maravilloso que tengas gente que tenga la amabilidad de venir y alegrarte el ambiente durante el día. Una vez leí un libro sobre una mujer que curó su propio cáncer y una de las cosas que mencionó al principio del libro fue que comenzó a ver comedias todos los días. Muchos han dicho que "la risa es la mejor medicina" y hay mucho de cierto en eso, porque la risa es una distracción positiva que reduce el estrés.

¡Quizás también necesites empezar a ver algunas buenas risas! :)

Te deseo una semana de paz física, tranquilidad y consuelo Isabel. Cuídate cariño. Mucho amor - ¡¡¡Y RISA!!! xxx

What beautiful words you say to me friend, thank you for that. The strength and change in mentality that I have made has been given to me by God through the people that I meet every day on my path who tell me that I look very good, that it does not seem like I have something as big as Cancer. At first I was afraid to mention the word since it is a disease that everyone rejects, but you have to face things and that is the beginning. I knew that you had lost your mother, yes, but not that it was because of this illness. What a pity that your mother did not receive treatment since she would have extended a few more years of life and she would still be with you. We should not judge those who freeze with the horror of the word and the treatments, they are not easy. But we must trust only in God who strengthens us. Thank you darling @jaynie for your words and it is a pleasure for me that you read my posts and comment on me. Thank you thank you thank you.

Those are very special people then! <3

Yes, it was a pity - but like you say... it was her choice. Definitely not an easy one.

Thank you darling @jaynie for your words and it is a pleasure for me that you read my posts and comment on me. Thank you thank you thank you.

My pleasure @isabelpena - you take care! and have a beautiful week!!!!!!
