Lifestyle changes to change "the terrain" as a cancer preventative

picking up the stick
I'm new here and my diagnosis is the same as yours, I had radiation with 5 treatments. My surgery was 11/09 and treatment until April 2010. I am also doing the Anticancer diet and have changed my diet and life a lot, sort of driving my family crazy a bit.

Have you ever tried eating ginger bits with almonds makes a big difference, just learned this from Dr. Weil. I drink Japanese green tea bulk and am now trying to go Vegan after reading the Veganist. I do mostly what you do but trying to stay away from wheat as well.

I am a little uneasy about my latest CA 125 going from 13 to 22, nurse did say different machine. But because I have now newly discovered lymphedema in my right calf which was previously thought neropathy from chemo, I got an ultrasound and they found no blood clot. But gyn/onc here in Houston at M D Anderson wants to do an Cat scan because it's nearly a year since the chemo stopped, etc.

I must stop now and will try to log on next week and write more about diet, etc. I am very interested about your diet plan. We sold a house in another state and need to go move some things back to Houston.

Diet Buddies
I'm very interested in diet as my primary way of protecting my health. Currently, I try to plan meals that are at least 70 percent alkaline. Also, I am now mostly a vegetarian; but as with any diet I've followed, I'm not perfect. In any case, at the moment, I am oven roasting root vegetables brushed with olive oil and doused with turmeric, pepper, and Hungarian paprika. I will add these vegetables to some freshly made spelt, pinto beans, and steamed spinach with fresh lemon juice.

I would love to exchange diet and meal ideas with anyone who is interested.

Love,

Jill
