How I am doing after day 1 radiation and getting chiropractic adjustment? True Storytelling
-
- Personal Journals
Yesterday was day 1 of radiation therapy at MD Anderson Cancer Clinic. I have stage 4 prostate cancer, and I am glad to report, day one was awesome. I had to learn how to hold a lot more wate than usual, and managed to figure out a way that worked for me.
I also got to a chiropractor, who did something amazing. I have not been able to walk more than a block without numbness, shooting pain, etc. in left leg. But it turns out that my right leg has been getting weak (due to lots of structural out-of-alignment), and my left leg has been doing most of the work when I walk. He did what's called muscle testing, and it turns out it was the right leg that needed to be able to do more to keep me in balance.
Why is this true storytelling? Because in both events of this day, there are many possibilities,, many hypotheses, but finding what's true is about weeding out what is not working.
Now that I see light at the end of these tunnels, its time to change the plot and make a new bet on the future.
