Treatment Zoom Meetup (Tuesdays) place to keep chatting

Hello everyone~ This is Lisa Burris and I'm happy to be connected with you all. Be blessed!

Thanks so much, Melissa, for setting this space up for us here and for doing such a wonderful job facilitating our weekly conversations! And enormous thanks as well to all of you who joined today and prior weeks. I learn something new from you every time, but I mostly appreciate the chance to connect with others who are also going through this.

Have a good week, everyone!

- Deirdre

Is Elsa on this chat? Really nice cap/scarf today on zoom. Can you share where you got it?

Great. I won't be on the call on Tuesday as i have chemo. If you can provide the Amazon link here that would be great. Thanks.

Hi! I just send Melissa some info and pictures about the hats. She will share itwith you. I could not post it here.

Thank you for today's meeting, everyone. I'll try to get back each week if I can. You're all in my heart. - Jennifer

I hope this is the right place to post. It was nice to meet folks on the Zoom chat on Tuesday. I am very pleased to have met a group I can connect with about this experience. I promised I would let everyone know how my vaccine went. I am happy to say that my reaction at the clinic was very mild. I did fall asleep shortly after returning home, but today I only have a sore arm at the injection site, so far.

What a relief!

Thanks, everyone!

Hi, Teri23! I am SO happy to hear your vaccine went ok and that you are ok. What a relief! I'm thinking of you and holding you in my heart. I was glad to meet you in the group the other day. Hopefully I'll make it to the next group and see you again soon. For now, just know you're not alone - we're all right there with you in spirit!

Thank you, Jennifer. We missed you yesterday. I hope you are feeling okay.

I attended for the first time today. I enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to next week.

Hello, great seeing everyone. Someone mentioned constipation today. This recipe comes from my radiation oncologist booklet.

Fruit Paste Recipe (Makes 2 1/3 cup)

1/2 cup dried prunes, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup dried figs, 2 tbsp. senna tea leaves (can be purchased at health food store), 1/4 cup prune juice, 2 Tblsp brown sugar, 2 Tblsp lemon juice, 1 1/4 cups water.

Slowly bring fruit, lemon juice, tea leaves & water to boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and add brown sugar. Mix well and allow to cool. Using a mixer gradually add the prune juice to the fruit mixture forming a smooth paste. Place in container and store in freezer.

Fruit Paste will not solidify but will remain the consistency of ice cream.,

Take 2 teaspoon every morning.

Remove from container and let warm to room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes.

Eat plain or spread over toast, muffin or cracker.

Increase or decrease recommended dose as needed.

We have missed you. Nice to be starting radiation...keeping treatment moving forward. Hope to see you next week!

LOL. that was me, Carolyn. Always blocked up. Thanks for the recipe suggestion!
