As we can all tell by the pink flying everywhere it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month …. and as a coincidence I had to cancel my mammogram last month. What a crappy thing to do to myself right? You know, kids sick, can’t make appointment. But reading all my friends posts about how cancer has touched their lives I know I need to get in. Such a powerful reminder to take care of me!

When my friend Lori had breast cancer (she is doing great now) I made her a recipe to help with the nausea and as a joke called it Chemo Moonshine. It is something I really relied on when I was undergoing chemo for Lupus a few years ago. Since I posted it last year it has gone semi-viral on Pinterest and nothing makes me happier than having someone post that it helped or seeing people talk about it on a Breast Cancer board. Seriously, one of my favorite moments as a blogger knowing I actually helped someone going through this horrific fight feel just a tad better. Please click on the picture below for the recipe. I would be honored to have you make this for someone in your life battling chemo.

Chemo Moonshine | Natural Nausea Remedy

Seeing what a difference posting this simple recipe made for so many people inspired me to say YES when a friend asked if  I would like to work with  Saint Agnes Hospital’s Comprehensive Breast Center and Vitamix to make someone else’s journey easier. Their One Journey, Many Paths campaign is a powerful reminder to take care of YOU, ME, every woman in your life. We need to encourage each other to take care of ourselves. In that spirit, please feel free to harass me to reschedule!

Like I don’t need enough of an incentive after watching that!

The team at Saint Agnes would like to remind you to take care of yourself. Do regular self-breast exams, make and keep your annual appointment with your doctor! In that spirit they are sponsoring the giveaway of a Vitamix blender system so that we can all take a few minutes each day to take care of ourselves with a healthy treat with the hopes that no one ever has a need to make Chemo Moonshine again.

  1. I am forever grateful to my dear friend Barb, who took the time to so thoughtfully make me this recipe. This recipe got me through such a horrific nauseous time. It settled my stomach and helped me to get some fluids and food in to my body when I truly needed it most. Thank You Barb! And thank you for sharing this recipe with others. Hopefully it will bring some comfort to others.

  2. How amazing! I am sooooo going to give this a try. I wish I knew about this 11 years ago. 🙂

  6. I have always thought it was so amazing that you made that… and tried to keep it in the back of my mind whenever I know someone going through Chemo.
    I actually relate more to Jessica (her daughter) or Don (the friend.)
    If I had to choose, Jessica.

  13. Thank you so much for the recipe and hope I win, its never too early or late to start taking care of ourselfs.

  15. I relate most to Jessica in the video. I have been on the journey through chemo with several family members and friends. Having a network of love and support is critical.

  27. I related most to the sister…my sister in law is a breast cancer survivor and she has fought like hell. Always smiling and making the best of everything. She is a real trooper!

  30. I watched the One Journey, Many Paths Video. I guess I relate most to Tami’s sister in the video. My father went through cancer and unfortunately did not have a successful outcome however he was a fighter and I hope he knew how much his life meant to me. His teachings still help me in my life on a daily basis. He was “my hero” as the sister says in the video.

  32. I relate most to Cheryl, the friend, because I’ve had so many friends, friends of friends, and distant relatives that have struggled with breast cancer.

  33. I don’t know about ‘relate’, exactly, but I feel for Tony, Tami’s husband. It is so hard to see anybody you love going through something so difficult.
