That miso soup with all the mushrooms sounds delicious.
Can I have the recipe? There is also supposed to be something beneficial in miso for breast cancer, but I can't remember what. It must be something to do with the fermentation process. I eat miso soup when I have a cold. I make the soup and throw in various veggies that seem to go with it like onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, ginger, garlic and bok choy.
I love your spirit. Good luck with the wig shopping. Be sure to pick something cute and sexy.
There is nothing wrong with planning for end of life as long as we continue to fight, be assertive and proactive. Showing our docs that we intend to fight also helps. I don't complain too much about side effects and when something doesn't seem to be going my way I push them to help me find something else or I find it myself and suggest it to them. I try to learn as much as I can.
I have also "fired" docs who didn't seem to be helping.
I don't eat too much refined sugar or desserts. Hint. Cancer uses glucose and sugar to metabolize. The Pet Scan is based upon that theory. The macrobiotic diet sounds good. I think I probably eat a version of it, but add fruit and some fresh veggies.
Docs and insurance companies can't complain about us eating healthy or withdraw coverage for food. We can subsitute supplements with food versions of the same thing most of the time.
Good luck with the Herceptin and Taxotere. Keep putting one foot in front of the other girl !!
