It has been a while, again, since I last posted here. So sorry but life is keeping me really busy.
I took a break in February and went to Brazil – I think it was my way to cope with the huge amount of stress that I am dealing with in my life and an important step on my grief. A parenthesis here to say that Bernardo had visited me a few times, during my dreams, and it is such a comfort to have him around…
Brazil alone was a dream. I had a fantastic time with special friends, clients and all the good things that I miss from my country of origin. I also had a very stressful situation there, when Marcos had to be taken to the hospital due to an accident and I was the one calling the ambulance! Marcos is one of my clients and the father of a very very special friend. I had the pleasure and fortune to spend two full days with Marcos, prior to the accident that lead him to an induced coma for more than two weeks. Marcos has such a fantastic and privileged mind that these two days alone worth the whole trip!
Then, Sao Paulo to visit another special friend. Fabio has been part of my life since I was 21. And there goes 20 years of friendship. We had an 8-10 years gap here but as soon as we met again it was like we have been together forever. Instantly connection. This is the type of friendship that will last forever…
Itatiaia was an amazing weekend on the mountains that saw my first steps in the activity that changed my life. Then, a flight over the coast of Rio, with Fernando. And a week with my adorable friend, Vivianne. Packing was hard this time: as much as I was looking forward to see my son again, I was not looking forward to the cold of the winter and the stress of my home.
I am back a month now and should say that the stress is pretty much gone, life is more or less back to normal and the spring is giving us its first signs, which is something that always makes me happy.
Ricardo’s treatment is going on and we are collecting a series of good news now. The tumor markers are going down and staying there, which is amazing. The pain is going away and he is not using any pain killer since three or four weeks ago. He is gaining weight. He started to meditate and do yoga every week. Sugar is a no-no in our home but life is still sweet. Green tea is our beverage of choice. And I wouldn’t be surprise if the next scan find out that the tumor is gone (or going away).
Six months to live? You bet! Give me this time and I will show you how to disintegrate a pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis! But you have to do your part. And this includes Budwig Protocol daily. Religiously…
