confused about makeup

Hi. Let me start with my story, trying to be brief. I'm 47 and was diagnosed in Oct. with OvCa stage III C. I went to urgent care with somewhat bad pains in left side, thinking possibly appendicitis. I've never been in the hospital and never even had a blood test. Had been thinking that should start going to have me blood pressure tested, cholesterhol, etc but too busy with parents and other family going to drs. Then I got the big news. Yes, there was question about my appendix but worse news, tat looked like had ovarian cancer. Was hospitalized a couple days for observation, then worked out that a oncology gyn, one of two from Sacremento to Portland, Oregon (she's here in Eugene), had an opening for the coming Tues. So not so much time to think or worry about it, which was great. She was shocked when te report came back it was cancerous, she just knew wasn't. So I was totally de-bulked, including having my appendix removed. Then about a couple weeks later started my chemo treatment-one week of Taxol IV with Cisplastin IP, next week Taxol IP, then a week of rest, then continue for total 6 week cycle. My counts went from 600 some down to 11 as of in Apr. Just had another one but won't hear it until Mon. My drs are pretty confident with how I am doing but there is always the percentage they give you, which I am planning on being in the smaller percentage of not recurring. I have heard of a few that have gone several years not recurring.
I finished my treatments Mar. 12 and glad of it. Feeling so much better that food tastes so much better and gaining more energy although still tire out at times. Sometimes I forget why I should tire out and get frustrated that can't do all I used to, or when things don't go quite right, mostly from being over tired.
It is a real challenge and confusion reading up on all the info on the net. My mom thinks I read too much but I feel it is more helpful to know some info, know what's going on, what to expect or maybe to expect. My oncologist doesn't really say all that much, just that I am on track and doing well, and things to be expected. My counts are climbing as my hemoglobin was down to about 10 some and is slowly climbing up so not quite so anemic. For the most part I don't feel that bad, like I thought I would, just have some minor odd feelings, in fingers, hands, muscles in arms when lift up, feet. Thinking maybe my muscles are waking up from less activity. Also seems my fingers are plumping up (my face for most of treatment) after the chemo stopped, some of my rings hardly fit now. My dr said being some anemic can shift fluids around.
Anyway I have stopped using plastic bottles and reheating in plastic in micro. But then finding lots of info on web about bad stuff in makeup, such as parabens. So I got rid of anything with parabens and replacedwith others. Then read that so many other bad stuff out there, it's hard to find makeups or sunscreens that don't have something that they say might or could cause cancer. So what is one to do? Skip all the makeup and sunscreen entirely, or use what seems to be the least bad and not worry too much about it?
Another thing we've been dealing with (my sister has been my and our parents caregiver during all this and she's the 'chief cook') is trying to cut way back on white flour, and sugar. So we bought a bread maker and she makes some bread using different flours. But some foods you just can't do without white flour. And even though it's not good for you, it is hard to never eat out again or not any one else's foods that might not be good for you. I feel I need to enjoy life too and trying to do mostly the best I can at home. Then there is sugars, trying to stay as much as can away from refined. Using stevia and agave syrup when can. Has been quite a chore for my sis but has come up with some good things-and some not so good, trial and errors. Also trying sucanat for the brown sugar. At times I get all into it and reading or at least printing to read later, info on all this and concerned about what to do or not do, then other times more relaxed and just do the best I can and still enjoy life.
I have a great support team, my oncologist/gyn, my oncologist, my parents and sister as well as my family at our Kingdom Hall. With all the love and support from them as well as going to our meetings and in the ministry, I have not really had much time to think about my problems. Plus I have a wonderful hope of a reserrection if worse comes to worse.
It just seems like one big dream, happening so fast, but then that is good as now looking back seems to have been so fast in getting through those 18 weeks of treatments. My chemo nurses were so good and that really helped in those troublesome weeks. Now that spring is here, or rather supposed to be here, that helps. My hair is growing back in about an inch long. I packed up all my 'chemo clothes', including my scarves and some of my hats. I still wear my wig when going 'out' but feeling good about my hair coming in as well as lashes and brows. I too have some of that hair on the face.
I guess I've gone enough but wanted to give my story, good or bad.
