Hi Rose, It makes sense that diet could play some role. I like veggies, fish and olive oil. Exercised lots, had low bad cholesterol and high good cholesterol. I think there is something else, environmental or genetic. I'm just disappointed that my years of good behavior didn't stave off cancer for another 20 years or so.

Do the healthy things that aren't a big sacrifice. Vitamins are easy. Exercise can be fun. Cutting back sugar is possible. Carbs all eventually turn to sugar, but don't beat yourself up.

I've reduced my standards as they didn't work the first time around. Cut back exercise, I was at 5 hours a week cardio. I just have other things I want to do with my time. All our cancers are unique. Some may respond to diet and exercise. I just think there's more to it and we don't have the complete picture yet. Do search all the nutritional data that RB has posted. It may work for you. BB
