Re: Diet or foods to avoid?
No magic but cancer is fast growing and a high sugar diet is supposed to be bad but a high sugar diet is bad whether you have cancer or not.
I always tried hard to eat right but during chemo, sometimes things don't sit well. But yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies etc are always wise.
Although we don't eat like we are told by the experts (healthy), it is what we should do for optimum health.
I tried and still try to do the Mediterran diet - lots of fresh veggies, fruit, olive oil etc and less fatty meat and of course fish if you like it.
