Any LT survivors changed ways of living?

Diet change of life

Yes, if you can survive the chemo and radiation and the accompanying problems, you MUST change your diet and add supplements! I was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer of the tongue 12 years ago and had 3 recurrences. I follow dr. Keith Brock's cancer diet. Invest in his book " life over cancer" , read and follow it. No meat, no dairy no sugar! They all provide breeding grounds for cancer . Read his book and see all of the proof. Also  reduce inflammation. Your CRP levels should be taken regularly . There are so many supplements that one can take to achieve maximum health. Bloodwork will tell you what you are deficient in. MD Anderson has a great alternative medicine clinic that I attend every 3 months. If you can't go here find a good alternative doctor in your area. One who I kbows about supplements and nutrition. I have seen regular nutritionists and they  know nothing! Ha! I believe that I am a long term survivor because of the diet changes in my life. Hey! Also reduce stress! Use yoga and other forms of meditation and therapy! It works!

Long Term Survivor of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

I was diagnosed with Stage III ULMS with a very high mitotic count. It's known as a very rare and aggressive cancer. I changed EVERYTHING in my life, and the doctor says my survival is nothing short of miraculous. He says, "Keep doing what you are doing. Your higher power is watching over you. Remarkable, Just Remarkable!" I never returned to a stressful job, changed my diet to all organic and lots of raw Vegan. I juice veggies and drink wheat grass. I take liposomal curcumin and c. I meditate, do energy work and go for acupuncture. Exercise, sunlight.... you get the picture. I learned about The Cancer Personality and how to change my ways of thinking. It has been 4 years and 9 months since my surgery. I never had chemo or radiation. I have never had a recurrence of disease. I started a support website for women with ULMS. I don't know if I can share it here, but if you search Uterine Leiomyosracoma - Integrative and Natural Treatments, you will find it. We also have a Facebook page for discussions about natural methods to build the immune system. Stress is your #1 enemy. Blessings to everyone! 

not so long

but everything's relative - I'm stage IV and  I've exceeded by more than double my original prognosis ... and so throw me out if I'm gate-crashing

 

I've have made changes similar to you UBlessing2U ... eliminated meat & most dairy, cut down sugar, and I'm juicing wheatgrass and taking 8-10G of lypospherc vitamin C every day. Maintained a couple of vices ... I like to 'celebrate' as frequently as possible, and am not giving any credit or thanks to god (he/she's been totally eliminated with the meat)

 

Am on Herceptin - targeted therapy - I'm fortunate to be a candidfate for that.

 

Tumor didn't register on most recent scan.  Not gone perhaps, but even I'm gobsmacked.  I put it down 85% to the medicine ... but the nutrition 15% contribution really makes a difference in my opinion....
