Tara's Blog - Sorry For The Delay
I have been trying to post every night but i swear sometimes I lay down and my fingers just don't want to move. I promise I will get back on track!
So, I've had a couple lymphatic massages already and I had my first hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and I am so grateful for how I've been feeling this past week because of this. I've tweaked my mindset a bit, because I think I needed to focus a little more on my emotions and how I'm feeling, rather than constantly being paranoid about the size of the tumor every day. Positive words of affirmation, good energy, love for yourself, and positivity, these are SO important for healing. I think I finally understand. When one little thing starts to irritate me, let's say my dog will not stop barking at a squirrel outside, usually I would say "Austyn SHUT UP!!!" And my heart would race and I would get so annoyed. Now, if I have the urge to do that, I tell myself that that will only contribute to the stress and inflammation in my body, and I don't want that. Literally every negative emotion that I might feel throughout the day, I try to stop myself from thinking negatively about it. And trust me, this is harder than it looks but I encourage everyone to try it. It will seriously change your whole day.
Now, aside from feeling great, my family and I are still struggling financially. The doctor wants me going to the hyperbaric oxygen therapy 3x a week, but they are $250 each treatment. Vitamin C IVs are half that price, and those i would like to do at least 2x a week. I also want to keep going to infrared saunas and getting lymphatic massages, but money is becoming a big issue. Please, please, please, I ask that if you would like to help someone out today, I could really use all of the help I can get! People tell me all of the time "let me know if you need anything!" and this is what I need. I need the money for these treatments. Keep telling your friends and family, keep sharing my story with anyone you know. I am so grateful for all that I have been able to do already. I definitely woudn't be where I am without everyone's support, so thank you!
