One of those threads, you know the type I've started and deleted a few times.
My sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer July last year. My little sister, mother of three diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
She doesn't smoke, drink led a fairly normal lifestyle, even though her diet might have been but the best it's crazy.
Thabkfully we are a pragmatic family, as soon as she told us we were on it.
Diet
Lifestyle
Research and questions galore
Gave her oncologist a tough time with questions and concerns
Thankfully she is now in 'remission'
She changed her diet
No sugar
No meat
No diary
3 day fasts before chemo
Green juices
Organic
Against advice of the doctors
She had a few horrible moments, told she was going to have an operation only to wake up and be told the cancer had spread and she needed more chemo.
Dark days that she managed to pull through.
I'd imagine it's of those things tho, your never really free are you?
Another guy I know early 40s diagnosed with bowel cancer a while back. After seeing his 18year old brother suffer a full organ meltdown as a result of the chemo he's decided he can't do the chemo. He's lost so much weight but is too afraid to have any chemo!
Today a friends brother who I know very well.
Young, fit, healthy, strong diagnosed with non-hodkins lymphoma.
He's 22/23 years old!
Maybe I'm at that age in life when these things are more prevalent but it's scary.
On top of that the advice given by doctors differs considerably around the world. The U.K. Is very much about eat loads of calories and hope the chemo does its work keep you alive regardless of horrible side effects of chemo.
It's very different in some other countries.
