To Eat or not to Eat?

So. I just went to the grocery store. HOLLLAAAAAAA! I know, out among the people doing what needs to be done, but out nonetheless. Truth be told, I had a lash appointment so I figured why not find food so that your husband doesn't (in his mind of course) roll his eyes and curse his wife for not having anything in the house except stale bread and three week old chicken!

Shopping now is different than it was before. Now while I am a third generation victim of the bitch ass C (my maternal gma-breast cancer, my paternal gma-cervical/ovarian/uterine, my ma-breast, me-breast). Did you read between the parenthesis? LOL It's called YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THIS SHIT...BITCH! So anyways, now that I'm a week away from round 4 (gasp) I figure the little time I do have an appetite I need to binge on healthy foods. I've read a lot of info about what to eat post cancer, and the conclusions I drew were 

1. I'm HER2+ what does that mean? It means the shit may come back.

Did you just say vegan?

2. I need to cut down on dairy, any dairy I do consume MUST BE ORGANIC no genetically modified anythang..my cancer is HER2+.

3. I need to cut down on sugar, chemo puts me at a high risk for diabetes

4. Up the calcium, chemo puts me at a high risk for osteoporosis and arthritis

What does that leave? A whole lot of organic fruits and veggies, little to no dairy, little to no beef/chicken, fresh caught seafood, nuts, and um....WATER!

The good news is, I like water, the bad news is I'm officially in a relationship with cheese. Sigh....let me rephrase. It's complicated between cheese and I =)

Foods laced with genetically modified product fucks with our system and gives us the big C. Now keep in mind, I obviously have some type of predisposition given my family history. I accept it. However, it couldn't hurt if I try to eat a little healthier!

So Mondays will officially be meatless Monday (if possible during chemo, definitely after). See Mondays may be I can't eat a damn thing during chemo! Tues-turkey (ground), Wed&Thurs-raw vegan/vegan/vegetarian, F-Fish Friday, Saturday and Sunday are few to eat whateva in moderation. So that's the plan. three days a week will include no meat, chicken, fish. This means I have got to learn some healthy veggie/vegan recipes. 

Big ups to all of my friends, especially Holly that hooked me up today and has me looking fabulous! Tomorrow will be a bigger blog, scan scan scan baby! I'll find out about my tumor after my meetings with my Breast Surgeon. Keep you all posted =)
