Yes !!!!!!!!!!!
Decent nutrition can contribute greatly to survival. I never got any help with nutrition from my cancer center.
However my naturopath started me on the path to good nutrition and it has made all the difference in the world. I don't think I would have survived almost 12 years so far without good nutrition.
I read everything I can about nutrition and have made every effort to eat healthy foods. It doesn't take much extra effort or more money to eat healthy food either, but I do have to put some effort into grocery shopping. It is worth it !! I am still here.
