See the doctor tomorrow so hope can set up working with Mayo. Did a three mile walk as up to 70 degrees. Went out to breakfast with friends this morning. Was stopped at a stoplight in a long line of cars. Looked out the passenger side window and a car was backing up towards me. Hit into our door!!! I was not hurt but lots of damage. She was late taking her kids to school. Even had a backup camera which I guess she ignored. Beginning to wonder if the world is out to get me! Yet another stressor when I did not need one!!! Yes I am not going to look at my labs for the next two months!!! Did you try any diets or just healthy eating? Have cut down on sugar but not keto, probably diet changes not as helpful with a blood cancer than perhaps a tumor type of cancer.

Oh my, what??!! I think you’re due for a rebalance of your universe! I agree, the car crunch was the last thing you needed right now. But I’m glad no one was hurt. Hopefully it can be fixed without too much of a hassle.
I chuckled a little with your comment about the world out to get you. I think we’ve all gone through those phases. It really does seem like the world balances out though. Things will be going along perfectly for years and then out of the blue everything goes haywire. Then, it swings fully back in the other direction. I expect you’re on the upswing right now and life will be back on the positive side!

Good for you, getting out to enjoy the gorgeous weather! It’s awesome to see that you’ve got some energy and doing some normal activities. That make me happy. I think you’re in a much better place mentally than last week.

About changing diets, honestly, if I were you right now, I’d just keep eating healthy foods, veggies, lean meats, good fats, etc. Cutting down on sugar is always a good idea, though I admit dark chocolate finds its way into my mouth on a daily basis! Have to enjoy life, right?!
Even before my leukemia my diet was pretty close to the Mediterranean diet. I always ate super healthy, avoided toxins, didn’t smoke, exercised religiously, still ended up with a random cancer. But in the long run, all of the life choices made before my illness and transplant had a major affect on recovery and health. I heard that repeatedly from my doctors and medical team. So whatever you do now, with your long walks and eating right will go a long way towards the success of your treatment and outcome. ☺️

Good luck with your doctor appt tomorrow. Do you have a list of questions and things you want to discuss?
