Cancer Survivors Network

Hi guys just clocking on the say my last CT scan done July 2012 shows no evidence of spread. I'm still here. Next scan due January. I have been watching my diet and trying to get my weight down. We know obesity is a problem. I am now 75kgs and want to go to 70kgs eventually but I am in no rush. I first noticed my lump having been on a meal replacement diet which I will never do again. I am eating a sensible diet full of antioxidants and omega 3s. I avoid processed foods and buy fresh food products every few days. I have increases green vegetables and salads and have included legumes nuts and seeds into my diet. I read a book called "Cancer to Wellness" which made a lot of sense. It was written by a cancer survivor and you can get it online. I have joined a free website program called "Weigh It Up". They have diet challenges frequently and provide healthy recipes to follow. Comments in the forums have been that some people have noticed since starting this program that their immunity seems to have improved as they haven't had a cold this season. I do take supplements of Krill oil, CoQ10 and Vit D. I was found to be deficient in Vit D which is linked to cancer too. The other supplements increase my antioxidants and omega 3. I go to the gym 3 times a week. I have to push myself there as I would be lazy with exercise otherwise, but my husband and I make it a social gathering with other retirees.We do need to take care of ourselves mentally physically, emotionally and spiritually so I have a healthy diet, exercise, try to make everyday a happy one so not to alert that hormone cortisol also linked to obesity and cancer, I outreach to others as when you care for others you care for yourself too and not focus on your own sadness and I go to church. I look after today and let tomorrow worry about itself.
