My newest favorite thing for cooking: panko bread crumbs. Today I made chicken breaded with them and baked in the oven. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I also made angel hair pasta with spinach, olive oil and garlic. And a small glass of Merlot. I'm really trying to eat healthier, but I still crave chocolate. A lot. :(
I haven't been checking the surgical site of my lumpectomy because it was still tender from radiation. That's all healed now and I noticed that the scar feels rather thick. It's probably normal, but I spoke to a nurse at my medical oncologist's office and inquired if I should see my surgeon to have her look at it. She agreed, so I'm hoping to get an appointment tomorrow or early next week. She's in surgery on Thursdays. I'm almost positive it's just the scar that I'm feeling, but I'm not taking any chances. I'll keep you all posted. :)

Hi Sue,
You mentioned that you really crave chocolate. I have the perfect solution (at least it has been perfect for me.) I buy powdered organic protein drink, I put the appropriate amount of milk and protein in my blender and then I add several table spoons of pure cocoa! Cocoa is an antioxidant and very healthy without all the fat and sugar in a candy bar. Anyway, the sugar in the protein drink takes away some of the bitter edge. I've learned to make my drink very dark chocolate (less sugar) and really enjoy the wonderful flavor. This has taken away all of my cravings for chocolate and they had been many!
Just a helpful hint that has worked wonderfully for me!
PS. my doctor's appointment is for April 25th
Keep us updated on your check up.
love you
Rach
