Mandy Harvey aka Beadsme: Try This - BBQ Mushrooms With A Bit Of Me!

The Big C .... Cancer (Breast)

I thought I would add some details to my blog for those that are suffering or have suffered from breast cancer.
I was diagnosed in Sept 2000.
Underwent a lumpectomy, following by chemo and radiothereapy. They also removed some lymph nodes to check to see if it had spread. Luckily it hadn't.
I was told that I was stage 1 (very early stage) and grade 3 (nasty).
Chemo - I had 6 sessions of chemo usinf FEC (Fluorouracil also known as 5FU), (Epirubicin), (Cyclophosphamide). I cannot say chemo was nice. The first 3 sessions were ok just a little bit of sickness but after that bad sickness, severe tiredness, no energy, bleeding and sore gums, bladder problems.
Radiotherapy - Didn't find that this was a problem at all. Have a couple of dot tattoos left on my chest area. At this time I was still tired from the chemo so not really sure if radio made it worse.
Here I am a survivor.
If you want to ask any questions please contact me and I will do my best to give you a truthful answer.

Try This - BBQ Mushrooms With A Bit Of Me!

I'm not very good a recipes but just seem to put everything together. Many friends have asked for my secret recipe, which was originally just a few things put together and see what happens.

Firstly grab some giant mushrooms, like these, yummy.

I mix everything in a small glass.

For 4 big mushrooms like this I half fill my glass with olive oil.

Add to the olive oil the following:

2 teaspoons of chopped garlic.
½ teaspoon of Paprika.
1 teaspoon of mixed herbs.
2/3 drops of hot or extra hot peri peri sauce.
½ teaspoon chilli powder.

Now just mix this all together and brush it all over the mushrooms. For the big ones above they would have gone in to the BBQ for at least 45 minutes, smaller mushrooms a lot less time.

Warning - this is hot!!!!

I have also marinated a chicken with this.
