Metastatic breast cancer

Hi Sam,

I am always looking for more ideas with food. Would I be able to get a copy of your 'recipes'.

I am currently looking into dehydrating and most foods require ground flaxseeds as a binder. I thought flaxseeds were highly oxidative and couldnt be heated. What do you understand about this?

 I watched one of your youtube videos. You look amazingly fit and healthy so I am hoping that this is reflected in your latest Medical reports.

I would love some more Recipes ,as would my Husband. If you have it in a file, I have drop box (an App that lets you share files).

If not I my e-mail is

spanda99@bigpond.com

Yes Spring is here and my garden is overflowing with Broccoli,Spinach,Lettuces etc. Now I have to plant for Summer and Autumn. Thank you so much for your encouragement at my decision.in the end it is our decision and everyone has been very supportive except the Drs who even tried blackmail with horror stories of BC death. I am not into taking on fear and am looking forward to living until I am 90+.

Love and Blessings

My favourite Brekkie Recipe at the moment is

Porridge ( I use  Red Quinoa)

This gluten-free recipe can be made a day ahead.

1 cup quinoa? 3 cups water? 2 cups coconut milk?1 banana? 4 tbsp walnuts, toasted( Idon't bother) and roughly chopped? Agave nectar or honey to sweeten, (or a date) to your taste?2 tbsp grated or shredded coconut? 2 tbsp chia seeds? 2 tsp cinnamon

Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. Bring water to the boil in a saucepan and add quinoa. Cook for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed and grains are fluffy. Cool, add coconut milk and refrigerate overnight. When ready to eat, reheat quinoa and coconut milk in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Add chopped banana and half the walnuts. Add agave nectar or honey and stir. When hot, pour into a serving bowl. Top with remaining walnuts, grated coconut and chia seeds, and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Serves 2 ( I actually found this was enough for 4 servings at least & freezes well)

Brown Rice Crackers or as a base for a sweet pizza.”

That sounds wonderful Sadhana. It would be lovely to share some recipes. I plan on becoming 95 per cent raw now the warmth is coming. I feel better already with these gorgeous spring days and am healthier than ever before. Good for you not having the hormone treatment. I refused radio and hormone treatment this time round and am so happy with my decision. Blessings to you,

I have only recently been diagnosed and have had a lumpectomy with two lymph nodes removed. There was no cancer in nodes and tumour was clear for 18mm.

I have read Jane plants book and although I did not have much dairy. I have completely given dairy away and am becoming Vegan.

I am doing this because I have refused to do the radiotherapy and Tamoxifen. There is a clinical trial where they are studying women who dont have radiotherapy for early cancer but unfortunately I didn't qualify as I did not have an MRI before surgery. However I am hoping to be checked every 3 months by ultra sound and I will definitely take action if more is found (no martyr here)

So I like all your blogs and suggestions. I have just got a new Vegan cookbook from The Millenium Retaurant so am going to check out some gourmet stuff. Shall pass on any recipe successes.

I have also meditated since 1974 ( I am 64) and highly recommend it.

Hi I am also feeling great empathy for you and am sorry you are feeling lonely. Dietary change, drinking atleast 3 litres of pure water, good salts eg. himalayan or celtic, saunas, exercise, meditation or something like yoga....getting rid of stress triggers..these are all so important. I didnt agree to chemo, femara, zoladex or anything medical second time around but I really have made an extremely determined effort to beat this. I am winning through dedication and a new found happiness I have gained and enjoyment of helping others who want to embrace new lifestyle ideas to support their bodies natural healing ability. Do medical if it resonates well and do alternative...do what ever your instincts tell you is right but foremost if you arent a vegan who has a green juice every day, become one with joy. I have never looked or feel better than I do right now and have just today run a raw food class and am still buzzing with excitement. My lung tumours disappeared and my bone tumours look like empty vesicles. Time will tell but I am confident sickness is part of my past. Good luck to you finding the path that suits and always know there is advice here from many that may suit your needs.

Hi All, 

Hope your all doing better than i am. :( I started Chemo (AC) in may, and was on 4th cycle, when the doctors reviewed my scan and realised that the treatment was only target one area of my body. I have mets, in breast, bones, and now liver. They swapped my treatment to Chemo - Abraxane. As you could imagine I was dissapointed, sad, lonely and  i still cannot stop think about my options - are they running out? Will this chemo work? Who's to say it will. I have cried for days, and i still cannot get a hold of myself. I have been pretty strong throughtout this journey, and im at the point were i feel i cannot do it alone. I need my bcna support friends. If anyone has anything to share, please reply. Im just confused and sad.
