New to Group

Hi everyone 

I am new to the group here so I thought I would introduce myself.  My name is Amanda - I'm 39 and have secondaries in my lungs, an axilla node and my skin.  I have a supportive husband and three children (5,7,10) The cancer progessed while I was on treatment for Early Breast Cancer -  something my oncologist had not seen before.  I am Her2+ve, ER/PR-ve

I live near the Galwer Foundation's Hawthorn office so I immediately went there for support and have found it invaluable.  I attended the 12 week program and this year am doing an 18 week course that Ian is actually facilitating.  I made significant change to my diet and 7 months later I am still stable.  I am also on  drug trial that includes weekly chemo.  

While I am not truley vegan I eat a large number of vegan meals.  I have made a decision to include fish and eggs in my diet and sometimes have honey and very occasionally goats cheese (my biggest weekness!)

I am so looking forward to sharing ideas and recipes with you all - especially when the kids are back at school and I will get a little more time to read through the past posts - but for now I just wanted to say "hi!"

And maybe a question to throw in - what are the thoughts here on coconut milk - Gawler are against it for it's saturated fat content - other ideas?

Talk soon ladies 

Amanda

p.s. - thanks for letting us know this group was here Celeste. :-)
