I say EAT STRONG!!
Okay - I'm on the soap-box for nutritional work to keep cancer at bay.....'cuz every time I read of a recurrence, it scares the hell out of me (and I am really sad for the on-site person or their loved one). There are people here who have had tumors disappear; and that is amazing -- and believable.
If nothing else, check it out.Try a few changes: maybe just take out refined white flour and/or sugar or red meat; when that is easy enough and doable, take out more things which are premade and add a more plant-based diet; if that works, try JambaJuice for a bit until having a juicer at home feels comfortabe. But, everything in good time and working with lifestyles.
It's just a thought; and we don't have anything to lose -- and maybe years to gain!! And Lord knows, one can take days off for good behavior....:-)
All the best - Maura (who thinks that there is more than one way to solve this yucky cancer-puzzle)

    I'll agree with that Maura...and give the cans of fruit/vegies and all the other canned stuff that has preservatives in it "the flick" too!
    Too many things these days are artificial.
    Exception; I won't hold it against all our Palooza reunionists if they "eat tha wrong stuff" in Vegas...we'll just give 'em hell when they get back...watcha think Maura? lol!

    I'm new to the board and have recently finished chemo - so now I am feeling stronger and starting to think about changing my diet.
    Can you recommend websites or books that are good starting points for me?
    Thanks!
