Diet Questions Among Others--
Comments

Hello again, Jenn -
Regarding diet; mine was mostly trial/error/pre-existing aversion to red meat/reading/ and stuff I learned here. One thing so many folks will tell you is that cancer eats sugar so stay away from it. There are others here imminently more qualified to talk to you about diet than I am so I defer to them.
Regarding Celebrex - clinical studies have shown that Celebrex actually helps reduce the incidence of colon polyps. I can't definitively say the same thing about Vioxx - haven't looked into it since I'm on Celebrex. One side effect of chemo seems to be arthritis (maybe it's just because we semi-colons tend to be more... mature... generally speaking). I am doing doing double duty with the Celebrex; it's for arthritis, but also helps (hopefully) stave off a relapse. Talk to your onc and see what s/he says.
BTW, awesome news on your PET scan!!

Hi jenn,
How I missed this thread is beyond me! I thought I had radar for these kinds of questions.
NO my doctor NEVER told me anything about diet are you kidding?? You would think that colon cancer patients would be given some info...maybe others have but mine surely didn't. Just look at what they served you in the hospital after your surgery! That should tell you right there they are clueless.
I did all my own research. But I had been through this before after my sister was dx'ed with intestinal cancer....and then after my dx I got really serious...but that's another story.
If you are curious about my diet post dx please go to my webpage on this site. I go into detail about it.
I cannot help you in the diet during chemo department though...there are others who would be better for that.
peace, emily who is on a crusade to conquer cancer0 -
Weight gain after chemo
I just finished chemo treatments in July and have gained 40 lbs since March . Has anyone else had extreme weight gain after being treated for colorectal cancer . I have stage 4 colorectal cancer with a permanent colostomy bag . Any suggestions on how to lose the weight would be so helpful . I am not eating large amounts of food . Just frustrating.

Hello and welcome to the forum
This is a very old post, 13 years, and those who have posted here no longer post (or live, as the case sadly, may be).
May I suggest you start your very own thread on the forum home page. Here is the link. We would love to respond to your question there.
