Ask the Experts: Answering COVID-19 Vaccine FAQ

We sat down with Dr. Linna Li, System Division Chief of Radiation Oncology at Main Line Health, to address common questions regarding the vaccine and its effects on those affected by breast and ovarian cancers. Is there a waiting period you need to wait after having surgery before getting the vaccine. Some physicians are telling patients to get it 1-2 weeks after chemotherapy if the cycle is 3 weeks. There is no waiting period for surgery according to the FDA and CDC.

Surprisingly Decadent Brownies (Healthy, Whole Wheat & One Bowl!)

@UniteforHER · ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose whole wheat flour) 2. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Bake for about 28-33 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean with just a few crumbs (baking longer, to get a completely clean toothpick, will yield drier, more cake-like brownies). Thread a skewer or large toothpick alternating fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries or pineapple chunks) with small brownie squares.

Upgrade Your Protein with Rastelli’s

As you know, Unite for HER partners with amazing companies to be an example and help our Community choose the highest quality products and services, for example ACURE and Sun Basket. For anyone who spends $200 on Rastelli’s products, they will donate a box valued at $100 to those with metastatic breast or ovarian cancer, and recurrent ovarian cancer. Each box will contain 1 whole organic chicken, 2.5 lbs. of organic chicken drumsticks, 4 filets of sustainable Faroe Island salmon and 2 lbs. of wild-caught shrimp. We do recommend choosing leaner animal proteins most of the time (think poultry, fish and eggs) and choose red meat (including pork) no more than once per week as it contains higher amounts of saturated fat.

Boosting your Immune System

Each winter, you may find it helpful to evaluate your routine and determine how you can boost your immune system through nutrition and self-care, using ingredients you may already have at home. Start at the source and seek out probiotic-rich ingredients that will help promote healthy gut bacteria, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, brined pickles, miso, tempeh, kombucha and kefir. “Mushrooms have been shown to be antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and healing to those with compromised immunity” – Jolene Hart, Eat Pretty Every Day. Consider some of the tips found on the UFH blog to improve your quality of sleep, such as limiting screens and electronics, adapting a nighttime ritual, and avoiding caffeine throughout the day.
