Shiver and shine
February days on a cancer recovery path
Community Art
Before I began last week’s drive to the clinic in Duderstadt, central Germany, for cellular therapy for metastatic melanoma, which involved a 13 hour journey both ways, I started a community art project around birds. The image above shows the background. With dry needle felting (not yet tried this!) I intend to add branches, and a bird eating winter berries. A message from my recent blood tests was that I still have annoying inflammation in my body. I get up in the morning and stand bare foot on the grass drinking Dandelion Tea. I watch the birds rushing across the skies. Walking barefoot on the earth and sea shore reduces inflammation in the body.
Health and wellbeing live between polarities of building and letting go. If we listen to our body intuition (and the birds!) we know what to do next.
Fundraising
Medical news for me is that I do not need to return for Dendritic Cell Therapy , and Check Point Blockers for 3 months. Detailed results showed that harmful activity in my body had further reduced, even though it was a longer interval interval between treatments this time. In the consultation there was a laboratory technician who seemed very interested in my pathological progress. Dr Nusselhut pointed out that my healing is slow, with a complicated element.
Luckily, I’m also a phenomena because it appears that most people with large (active or - my case, none active) tumours on their liver cannot eat properly. I happily put on a kilo during the time in Germany. Have you tried German Onion Soup? It’s much richer and more exciting than the French, lighter version.
3 months to raise €8,000!
Can you help me with fundraising ideas? I’m thinking up a sponsored activity that I will do. Someone is planning a fundraising walk in the nearby New Forest with foraging, survival skills and craft. Should we have soup or hot chocolate at the end?
Can you share this post with someone who could either contribute financially, or share it again? It is so hard for me to ask for help. Can you help?
Thank you
