Babysteps...it definitely is here but they all add up...

El my changes aren't much so far.

All food is organic inc fruit juices

All toiletries 100% organic

At the moment using ecover washing powder and washing up liquid..looking for organic solutions to this and all cleaning jobs.

Bottled water is bought in glass bottles.

Not really started on exercise or diet(losing weight) front yet.Been told by hospital not to lose weight yet as chemo based on weight.

I have done about half an hour walking today...only slowly but done ....and will try to have a littlewalk each day.

they are all baby steps but will add up.

thanks for the info taxi ...the changes sure do all add up ... it is an impressive start ... what glass bottled water do you use?

does it taste nice ... i like volvic but cant stand evian ... would love to get volvic in a bottle ... might need to go try some ... have figured out i will go to the local soap maker and ask if when they make their batch of shampoo etc i can be phoned and come up with my glass bottles to buy the stuff ... they only supply shampoo in plastic bottles ... but i think if i went with my own they might humour me a little

taxi73

Sorry if I'm being dim but what is wrong with using plastic bottles? Everything we use these days seems to be in plastic?

elantan

Where oh where do we start with plastic lol ....

Plastic bottles produce chemicals that are carcinogenic ... These chemicals leach into the products that are contained within the plastic ... When we ingest these products either orally or through the skin etc we are ingesting these carcinogenic chemicals ... The amounts are very small but over time build up to be huge and potentially life threatning ... That's the basics ofcourse it goes deeper than that .... But it's a good place to start researching if your interested

Taxi Hun - I am so pleased to hear that you;ve had a more positive prognosis than perhaps you were expecting this time last week ....and it's good to see you already preparing for the journey ahead, especially now you know what it will entail.


I'm sure it all seems rather daunting and scarey atm...:grouphug::grouphug:...but you CAN and WILL get through this Hun :kisses3:.

There will be wibbles and pants days - but there will also be good days and laughs :j. Be kind to yourself, don;t be afraid to ask/look for help and support when you need it..(sometimes it will come from unexpected sources)..and don;t forget (as if you could :rotfl::rotfl:).....we're all here walking with you and rooting for you every step of the way :kisses:

P.S. wheeks and whiskery kisses from the piggies to their Auntie ..:D
