Lamingtons anyone??

I love to cook and bake--with everything - going on I haven't been able to do much but I have been collecting recipes like crazy. Lamington is an Australian desert- luv it!!! It has sponge cake on  the inside- so it does not have that chocolate overkill taste.But Sis Genia has this absolutely tasty pumpkin pie crumble cake thingi-omgosh! it is soooo good-

As you can tell I enjoy food..lol!!! but with my recent chemo it has kinda put a stop to it due to the nausea. There is so many changes to my died- no salads due to germs so on and so forth- I am still on smoothies- gotta luv those things-- 3 years ago I became lactose intolerant due to chemo- so nothing with dairy at all- so tno more ice-cream. Substituted that for sorbet- Sorbet is good but I miss ICE-CREAM!!!!- gottta have soy with cereal- I am adjusting still- can't complain- I am still alive:) So now when looking at recipes gotta do some substituting- but it is not such a  big deal with recipes. I am looking forward to getting over this treatment and getting back to normal routine:)

Update

1.Hooked up for chemo

2 masked for radiation

It has been a while since I updated my blog and a lot has happened since then. A lot of progress:) God is good. Since my diagnosis I have completed radiation for my eye and my sight is slowly returning-THANK YOU JESUS! Its not complete yet but I am trusting that God will do a miracle! That's a shot of me in my mask for radiation to my eye.The radiation is to shrink the tumor that was in my right eye. So I am glad that we are heading in the right direction.

I also started chemo for breast cancer- did Herceptin for 2 cycles. It was not too bad. Breezed through it like a pro..LOL! They tried my port which was not used for 3 years and I was praying for a miracle on that because a port is supposed to be flushed every 3 months. Mine was not used for 3 years. The nurse did a flush and a I got a good blood return- whew!! Thank you Jesus! When they put the saline in I got that familiar salty taste in the back of my throat- eeww!! No major side effects with Herceptin- just tiredness which came from the radiation and continued on-and on....

Currently doing chemo for sarcoma. Taxotere and I forgot the other one:) chemobrain is what I am getting:) I am going to Stanford Hospital and I have some of the best doctors looking after me- so that is half the battle. They discovered the spindle cell sarcoma in the beginning of October and they are working on it- thus the chemo- the side effects are rough but you gotta what you gotta do. I am trusting God for my miracle!!! For breast cancer I knew what to expect- pretty straight forward on my treatment- surgery, chemo and radiation. For the sarcoma the approach is a little different- we have started chemo, no radiation- THANK YOU JESUS!! and then surgery- I will post up the update after my consultation this Tuesday.
