There have been a few members who were NED at one point and have had reccurence. Assuming you were no longer on Chemo,were any of you following a "cancer diet" or taking "anti-cancer" supplements continuing well after being NED or were you back to the same lifestyle prior to diagnosis? If you were using supplements, what were you using? How long were you NED before reccurence?
Thank You.

    There was a post by "lmliess" dated 3/10/10 where she list the supplements she takes and what the supplement is intended to do. She goes to a naturalpath. She was Stage IV, liver mets, successful liver resection, has remained NED. You can go back in the posts and see her list.
    To my knowledge, she has had no recurrence.

    Hope this helps - Tina

    ch,ch,ch,ch changes
    Thanks Tina, that's great. I'm also trying to compare those that returned to previous lifestyle (diet, habits) after being NED to those that didn't as well as people currently NED and their choices. I know this is a relatively small group but any information is helpfull. Mostly just curious but also looking for clues. Does anyone know someone on here that has remained NED with NO lifestyle changes from prior to diagnosis?
    Thanks

    Hi, I was stage IV
    NED since August. I'm not doing anything much different than before my initial diagnosis in Spet '06. I've tried to cut sugar out (but it's really my favorite food group) and it's hard...but I'm trying. Taking a baby aspirin a day, and trying to eat mostly fresh fruit and vegetables...My eating habits are pretty horrible but I've promised my husband I'd give it my best shot...I'm also exercising alot...I walk 3 miles a day, swim and lift weights.
