Hi I’ve now had 16 years trying to keep cancer at bay. About 6 years ago throat then metastatic growth in my lungs and plural lining and now beyond. Incurable but still here after three years since original prognosis. Part of the key is my relationship with food. In the early days after throat surgery Ned then radiation therapy all food became like eating dog poo! But I new I had to persist. Food became medicine. I had to get it down. Before the treatment I was a food junkie, I was lucky to have recently purchased a brilliant German blending machine that is just awesome and will blend anything into a fine soup. That meant I could take any food, and I mean any food and turn into a soup. So whatever I cook for the family I take the same size portion of everything that others are having. Add some hot stock and blend a Sunday roast including roast spuds, steamed veg, Yorkshire pud, roast chicken or beef or lamb. Chuck em into the Thermomix and two minutes later. Soup. And the same meal as the rest of my family. It works so well that I have even asked chefs in restaurants if they would mind taking one of their menu dishes and doing the same. Never had a refusal, only ever a request as to whether they could add anything else. This way of eating has not only kept me alive, it’s has also enabled me to stabilise my weight and feel more comfortable about eating anything I choose.
