Wellness Center

My mom who is 73 of age has undergone a series of chemotherapy sessions, first in 2007, then now in 2010.

For her last session, her body seem to continuously weaken. She then told us that she has decided to just go for the last session and stop for a while.

We discussed it and felt that she really needs to recover first before any chemotherapy treatment again. So while doing that, we go to a Wellness Center where the doctor treats other cancer patients.

Here, the aim is to build the immune system, on top of eliminating the cancer cells.

At the Wellness Center, Mamu is given Vitamin C (intravenous). She is prescribed to eat fruits and vegetables in lieu of meat.

Of course she needs to rest, drink lots of water, no dairy just yogurt, do deep breathing exercises, some walking, get exposed to sunshine and other healthy "Do's and Don'ts".

The treatment room has some decorations and crystal thingy.

We just continue praying and also keep on seeing her oncologist on top of all these wellness activities, which we believe will give her a better well-being if done right.

Of course, nothing beats love, support and community prayers. May God bless her.

Just for today, I will trust.
Just for today, I shall work honestly.
Just for today, I shall accept my blessings.
Just for today, I will be at peace.
Just for today, I will respect life.

These were the words written in the frame. I was wondering why the suggestion was to do the things just for today. Then, I remember a bible verse that says:

"So do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings." Mathew 6:34

Also, if you have the power to do it for a day, then you can do it again the days ahead.
