The only reason why your doctor suggested 'deli' meat that I could think of is that your weakness was caused by lack of sodium. Deli meat is heavy on salt and could have solved the problem you were experiencing back then.

Cancer is caused by the inability of our cells to self-regulate. Except children who were born with cancer(or have developed early in life), most cancer cases concentrate on the population of the elderly. When we age, certain components of the cell get shortened each time it divides. This 'aging' process can be hastened by environmental factors such as pesticide or other 'poisons' around us.

If you click on the 'Diet and Nutrition' heading (or do a 'Search' using the key terms you have in mind) you will find ample previous discussions on the subject, including the summaries/advice given by the dietician(s) on the Her2 Board.

Family cancer history can also play an important role. The genes passed down from our parents often determine what types of illnesses we most likely to get.

Please work closely with your doctors/dietician/nurse in maintaining your health. I'm sending you good vibes.
