Cancer Survivors Network

Both my husbands doctors said it's not necessary to give up meat completely, just limit your intake. I don't know about sushi as we don't eat it. They told us a "heart healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.
If you get radiation the doc said eliminate carbonated beverages.
Hope that helps a bit.

RTS, your questions are real, there is a lot of confusion on this, the internet has many diets to follow at times. I started a diet last year after prostate cancer surgery. I cut out red meat as much as possible, I do eat a little but for the most part I stay away from it. My diet right now is about 90 percent vegetarian. I do eat fish this has omega 3's which is good for you. I also eat chicken. I follow the heart healty diet. I cut out refined sugars, no soda, candy, junk food. I have also added a lot of spice to my diet. Garlic is real good for you. Now no processed meats like cold cuts and the like. Red meat has a lot of trans fats which you need to stay away from. You need to drink a good amount of water every day. I also have used a lot of hot peppers in my foods, thai birds eye chili peppers, Ghost chilie peppers. Ginger,is real good. I shop organic as much as possible. You need heavy intake of fruit and nuts. The main objective is to eat foods that build your body up and boost your imune system. The Aisian diet is a good one to look into, I eat a lot of Thai and Viet foods. I stay away from dairy as much as possible, no Ice cream, milk, and other dairy products. My wife is always researching foods and informing me and helping out. Not grilled meats this is real bad. I have followed this diet over the last 15 months now and I feel real good, I do not miss the western diet. Tomatoes are real good and I snack on the small grape tomatoes thru out the day. Now this diet or parts can be difficult for people to follow. The spice is hard for some people to handle. Now also remember that diet alone will not cure cancer, you need to follow up with medical care. I am following a full circle approach to this cancer. There are certain chemicals in these foods that attack and kill off cancer cells and those are the foods that I focus on. My psa was 2.25 and I was in stage t2c, 18 biop samples came back with between 40 to 60 percent cancer. Last doctor visit psa was at 0.02. DO research on foods there is lot of information on the internet about this. There are some very good books out there on the cancer diet. By going to this diet I have saved money. I hope that this is not to confusing. Keep in touch I will try and pass along what I am doing with diet.
