Really, really tasty and creamy. This is a favourite of the whole family, from Nanny down to the grandkids. And the neighbours usually drop in if they smell it cooking.
Serves : 4
Preparation time : Approximately 5 minutes
Cooking Time : 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Creamy Parmesan Garlic Sauce:
Lovely fresh lemony taste and very easy to make. The quantities below will completely fill 1 large and 1 medium baking tray. You will need to cram everything in to get them all to fit, but this is how I was shown this recipe and it really works. In reality, these quantities will feed 6 but we usually make this amount for 4 so we have plenty of leftovers for the next day. Store the chicken leftovers with the leftover juices in the fridge overnight and it is even better eaten as a chicken chunk or...
I was going to say that I have suffered cancer, but I haven't. I've put up with it, which is hardly the same. I've known it was there, have seen its picture, seen the way my stomach changed position when a third of my lung was removed and my diaphram moved up to fill the new gap. That all just gave me chronic wind till it settled down. I can see the scars of course, and very clever they are too. The lung exercise went in via a cut up under my right arm and the lung removal was via a similar cut under...
May’s here, so without further ado, here’s a summary of April’s Wellbeing tips. We’ve revamped our ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ tips since last month – going forwards we’ll be choosing tips shared with the Community by our members. Here are a few highlights for April…

I am starting a new Blog which I name as New Beginning
Usually people are worried and depressed when they are diagnosed with cancer and think it is end of their life. But I would like to say I am starting my life new with a new perspective and hence the name
Let me introduce myself. I have been diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma of Rectum (Stage 3) in June 2017. I underwent the usual Chemo radiation, Surgery and Chemotherapy. I had a temporary Ileostomy for few weeks which was closed. I am in my 7th decade...
Whether it’s drawing a picture, painting, writing a song or perhaps a poem, being creative is for many people a great way to improve your mental wellbeing. Having spoken to a lot of our Community members about their experiences, I often hear that being creative has helped provide them with an escape or diversions to where cancer’s no longer a central focus.
Our Express yourself group’s a space where members showcase their creations, so as a way of encouraging others to perhaps do the...
I haven't posted in a while and I wanted to explain why .... My VIN has fully gone since the laser surgery!
I had my first laser surgery exactly a year ago and have had no VIN for a year!
Even though the surgery was only carried out on a small area, my immune system attacked the whole area that had VIN and the doctor says it has completely gone. I have no lumps, absolutely no marks from surgery (I can't tell where they even did it!) and I can have intercourse etc with absolutely no pain or worries...
So yesterday I had my hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsies taken under GA. All went well and I’m floating on a cocktail of drugs for now.
The consultant suspects my endometrial hyperplasia is back but struggled to see much as my womb is so cystic and just looks bad.
I now have a 3 week wait for the results which is just the hardest thing for me. He’s inserted a mirena again to get a head start on the treatment if it is hyperplasia.
Now just to wait and see!
Following on from last month's 'Meet the Champs' Q&A with Greg777, this month we meet MikeO, who you'll find Champing our Head and neck cancer group.
Enjoy...
I found the Community not long after my diagnosis in October 2013, after a bit of manic Googling had got me terrified for my prospects I calmed down and looked for a more balanced view. I've always been a big user of internet forums since first...
