I guess soda pop is a big "NO NO"? Even though I know my BC was cause from a gene that we finally found, I wonder if trying to help with diet will make much of a difference.

My mother and I were in the same shoes. She tried the vegetarian way, with low sugar - and it didn't help her one bit. She progressed from just bone mets, to everywhere else in 4 months.

I was hoping for more conversation on this topic.

I have to wonder if the cancer will turn whatever it finds available in the body into the sugar it needs. I think there is a mechanism that it basically sends signals to the body saying it needs sugar, and the body will convert whatever it has to give the body that sugar. I've often wondered why my cancer friends, on the last few months of their lives, continued to lose weight even when they were eating or being IV'd enough calories not to lose weight. A probable answer after much study, was that the cancer is tricking the body into giving it the sugar it needs thus converting any fat or muscle available - regardless of what is being consumed whether it be foods with sugar or not.

I was so troubled when I saw people who ate almost strictly veggies all day, fall into the recurrance category.
