My friend runs a wellness clinic in Chicago & when she found out my breast cancer metasticized she said I HAVE to do a vegan diet. I did great for 2 months & got my first PET/CT scan since starting tykerb/xeloda & right lung mets gone, mediastinal & hilar adenopathy gone, esophageal wall thickening gone & marked improvement in left lower lobe of lung (bone mets mixed response). I don't know if the vegan diet helped or if it was just the drugs. Anyway, I got the stomach flu & all I wanted was Italian toast & chicken soup for a week! It's been hard to get back into a vegan diet again for me but I only drink unsweetened vanilla almond milk, sometimes Greek yogurt, hardly any cheese (my favorite!) & occasionally poultry & wild fish/seafood. I had to take a 2 week break from my xeloda because of my hand/foot symdrome but have started back just yesterday. My cough is getting bad again so I'm a little worred about my next PET/CT scan which is scheduled in about 2 weeks. Also, there's a new film out called "Forks Over Knives" that I'm going to see in Chicago next week - I've been advised to see it by my wellness friend. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!
