Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine and warmer temperatures this week. I have enjoyed some beauty walks. Keep it coming!
Check Up
Out for a little walk today
We had my check-up with Dr. Kouroukis this afternoon at Juravinski Cancer Centre. Here’s something I’m sure you’ve heard me say before. I love that man! There is something about his demeanour that instills the most calm, reassuring feelings you can imagine. I always leave our meetings feeling awesome. As we’ve stated previously, he is extremely knowledgeable in his field, and what makes him extra special is his genuine, caring, unhurried attitude whenever we meet with him.
He is extremely happy with all of my levels as of today, and pleased that I’m feeling quite good in terms of energy, appetite, getting exercise and all of those good things. Something else I learned today is his passion for nutrition as it affects the body’s ability to avoid illness and heal. I’d heard that he was into this, but saw a spark in his eye when I asked for his opinion on tips for my diet going forward. This is an area in which I’ve done much research, and truly have a passion of my own. It’s always been high on my list, and now of course has been huge over my treatment, and now recovery stage. I intend to make it a way of life going forward. By the way, if you ever want to chat about this topic, I’m in!
That’s the update for today. We aren’t due to go back for another 3 weeks. More rest and recovery for me, and hopefully some time off for Derek to do a little something else besides cater to all of my care needs 24/7!
