Poo-Tine

I just got back from a trip to Canada. I had to fine tune my diet carefully. It seems the Canadians put cheese on everything....even snails!
But I did find what should be the official food for Anal Cancer. What else but...POUTINE.
It's a mixture of french fries, brown gravy and, of course, cheese. They use Cheese curd. I'm not sure why except it's as tasty as cheese but doesn't glue the fries all together.
As for my diet while I was there, I got into the habit of eating prunes everyday. Plus my sister brought along an interesting product: chia seeds. The kind you put on the head of your chia pet. When soaked in water for about a minute they formed a mucilaginous blob. It didn't taste bad and it did the trick.
What trick is that you ask? Well, I'll leave it to your imagination.

Ditto

Hi there, Remember me? Everything has been going hunky dory for quite a while. But soon things will be heating up: visits to the surgeon, Pet scans, Port removal (hopefully)
Speaking of Ports, I went back to the oncologist to have my port flushed. We discussed the rash I got last time. So everyone was EXTRA careful.
The results? Well, you can see from the picture that the rash has returned. Itchy, red and ugly. Grrrrrr.
