Hi, my name is Judith Anne Desjardins, and I am a Holistic psychotherapist, 4-year and 4-month Pancreatic cancer thrivor and cancer advocate.
I had a Port installed this last Monday and 6 days later, the PORT, canula, and displaced chest tissue have healed.
Tomorrow I will be receiving my first Infusion of a secondary chemotherapy to work in conjunction with the Xeloda (5 FU) chemotherapy pills I have been taking for 4 months. The plan is that this new combination will confuse the cancer cells, destroy and eliminate them wherever they are in my body.
I am not afraid; in fact, I am wiser, stronger, more confidant than I was for my first experience with the IV-infused chemotherapy Gemsar in 2020 – which lasted 5 months.
At that time, it was the height of COVID lockdown, no visitors were allowed, my first Oncologist and his NP were distant and clinical, and I felt totally alone, frightened, and a bit terrified. My only companions were my blanket from home, my “chemo-Kitty” gift from my daughter, my Daily Word, and my Sacred Heart of Jesus medal. On top of that, I had many bad side effects, had trouble communicating with my Oncologist, developed blood clots in the lower segments of both lungs – which required 1 year on the blood thinner, Eliquis.
This time around I am well prepared with some specialty items for chemotherapy patients which I found on Amazon (which I will show and critique in future videos), have a loving, supportive Oncologist and his wonderful NP, and my Sacred Heart of Jesus pendant.
It is my prayer that my videos will be helpful, inspiring, and courage-inducing for cancer patients and their families around the world.
