I was diagnosed with DCIS ...Very interesting blog. I was diagnosed with DCIS in August 2, 2010 and had a bi-lateral mastectomy on August 11, 2011 with hopes that this treatment will be the end of my breast cancer worries. I am very fortunate that the DCIS was non-invasive. <br /><br />One thing I'd like to mention is that almost everyone (especially in Utah) is deficient in Vitamin D and even though I was taking 4000+ IU per day, my blood work revealed that I was still very deficient. I would recommend that your Vitamin D levels are checked with a blood test and then choose your level of supplementation for Vit D based on the blood work. Good luck with your treatment and therapy.

Wow Smoo...Here is another green smoothie recipe.<br /> Wow Smoothie<br />1/2 c soy or almond milk<br />1/2 c any type of pure fruit juice<br />1 c peach, pear or apple<br />1 ripe banana<br />1 1/2 c frozen broccoli<br />sprinkle of flax or chia seeds<br /><br />This one was quite fruity too, so you could reduce the fruit.

We allow 12 hours in-between so that the digestive system is not overloaded and allowed to process toxins. When using Chia seeds it is not necessary, but more beneficial to your body if you soak the seeds in water for a minimum of 2 hours. This will activate the enzymes.<br /><br />Drew JordanDrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048001208971275164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962606247052518889.post-46567025355484786302011-03-01T19:23:30.852-07:002011-03-01T19:23:30.852-07:00Hi Jen, I make non-green super berry smoothies :)

I've been praying for you! :) One of my favorite verses is from Psalm 139. You can read it here: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+139&version=NIV<br /><br />I love it because it is so comforting when I'm going through anxiety and fear (which is somewhat often). It always calms me down. I just wanted to share it in case it would encourage you, too! <br /><br />Thinking about you, Jen!!! :) Keep sharing your story. You're inspiring. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039869542658871662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962606247052518889.post-77954721501083179792011-03-01T09:20:16.461-07:002011-03-01T09:20:16.461-07:00This cancer thing isn't even going to slow you...This cancer thing isn't even going to slow you down, is it?<br /><br />For the green-smoothies, I think it goes down a lot better if you have a super blender like the Blendtec. A couple pears makes it taste a lot nicer. Can also sweeten it up a bit with Stevia if you don't want the sugar and don't want an artificial sweetener.MtbAllDayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493865478451113386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962606247052518889.post-15791007080992563752011-02-28T21:30:14.642-07:002011-02-28T21:30:14.642-07:00Hang in there, Jen.

Just made it for the first time tonight and it was tasty. <br />1.5 c pineapple juice<br />1/2 orange, peeled<br />2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley<br />1/2 c spinach<br />1/2 tomato<br />1/2 cucumber<br />1/2 banana<br />1/2 apple<br />1/2 carrot<br />2 t. chia seeds<br />Wash and cut up into pieces. Add to blender in order listed. Blend on high. Serves 2<br />200 cal, 48 g carbs, 0.5 g fat, 5 g fiber, 25 mg Na, 760 mg K, 34 g sugar, 3 g protein.<br /><br />You could easily make it more veggie and less fruity, as it was pretty sweet. I didn't have any parsley, so that may make it stronger veggie flavor too.<br />LucyLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896006691904225007noreply@blogger.com
