This is day 6 for my new routine of taking progesterone meds three times a day. So far, so good. Only a few minor reactions as my body is adjusting. The biggest constant is the headaches and occasional fast heart beat. But it doesn't last long and it goes away even quicker when I apply my essential oils. After checking with the oncologist, he approvede to be able to continue taking all of my vitamin supplements (doTERRA LLV), as well as the doTERRA probiotic (which was amazing relief to my digestive system), and DDR prime, which is commonly used by those fighting cancer.  I have begun my running journey again and am aware of carbs and sugars. The biggest concern for my diet the oncologist had for my situation was the hormones in milk and meat. Although we already try to avoid non-organic meat for the sake of adalyns future, we will also be switching over all dairy to organic, or use dairy alternatives. 

I have made a chart of the days remaining on this treatment to remember that despite any tough days ahead, I can do it!  If we do not receive the results we are praying for, at least we know we tried and worked hard in this journey.  I am excited for the challenge (as much as I can be!) and look forward to looking back on our journey and seeing how God was specifically working. I have already seen evidence of him at work for Jason and I, as well as through the abundance of prayer warriors and support through this.  So we want to thank you for taking the time to pray- especially these next 4 months as we take one day at a time on this medicine and pray for strength and joy even on the hard days.
