Today’s Photohunter theme is “creamy”.
In keeping with the whole anti-cancer thang, have been trying to include more antioxidents in my diet. One of the most delicious ways has been making fruit & yoghurt smoothies for breakfast. This one has blueberries, melon, banana, natural yoghurt … and also some greek yoghurt to make it extra creamy.

Going for another PET scan today.
Not looking forward to it, especially as I can’t have any coffee or brekky before I go. The good news is that the appointment is at 8.15 in the morning so there shouldn’t be much of a wait, but it also means I have to miss my yoga class today. And I’m told they can’t use my port to inject the radioactive FDG isotope, so I have to get it in the hand!!! Hopefully “one-poke” Manolo will be there – that guy is amazing.
Well, it’s going to be a full morning at the hospital. Catch you all later…

So I got some ginger. So now what?
Trying to do more anti-cancer diet stuff these days. Ginger is supposed to be very good for nausea and tumeric is touted as being a very effective natural anti-inflammatory. Have yet to start on the tumeric but yesterday I made a lovely chicken stir-fry with spring onion, garlic, mushrooms, lemon and ginger. So if any of you have a favourite recipe that uses ginger, please pass them along and I’ll try them out. Preferably some very simple dishes that I can make during the first ten days of my chemo cycle when the nausea is at its worst.

This is my new headboard, that I’ve inherited from Susan (aka Pipocas). It’s very nice and also practical with two glass-topped “end tables” that slide in and out of the headboard, so they can be seen or not seen. I have them about 3/4 of the way out. I also inherited those two lamps and the white lights were a gift from Pip awhile back. You can see an evening version below with the lights on, and also read the harrowing tale of the headboard pick up & delivery…
