Cooking Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingshortsJennifer Church was weary when we met the other morning, worn down by the 15th round of radiation she had just completed, drained by the mental fatigue that comes with never being able to completely forget that she has cancer.
Besides, she had something important to talk about. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Hers was discovered eight months ago, during a routine screening. Church does not sugar-coat anything about life since Feb. 1 when she went for her regular annual screening mammogram. She was, as far as she knew, perfectly healthy, with no cancer symptoms or risk factors, and no family history of the disease.
Last week she had her last blast of radiation. For the next three years, Church will receive bone support infusion treatments every six months. She will also have to take a pill a day, as part of her endocrine therapy, for the next seven years. It can prevent her for example, from thinking that every ailment, whether a cluster headache or twinge in the hip, is a sign that cancer has returned and spread.
