I am trying to tread with care as a male non sufferer who has just doen a bit of reading posting to some one who has spent so many years at the sharp end of this dreadful disease.
I flipped through the summaries of your posts and noted you take omega three supplements.
Did you have a chance to read the recent greek diet posts, and particularly the latter ones linking inflamation (COX 2 pathway based) and various cancers, including a post suggesting that fih oil infusions may reduce the inflamatory markers, and posts looking at positive results from cox blockers at low level plus DHA on cancer reduction.
From all I have read in respect of the three six debate I cannot emphasise enough the role of the omega six derivatives, and the potential importance of restricting omega six intake as well as taking three to try and at least balance the threes and sixes if you were looking at threes and sixes, inflamatory markers etc.
From what I have read digestive distrubances can exacerbate the bodies inability to sythesise long chain n3 fats which might be another argument for intravenous provision.
It is on the "edge" but you might like to show it to your onc. Could any of it be used as an adjunct to any other treatment chosen, with appropriate monitoring of inflamatory markers etc.? - one for the professionals to answer.
On another topic here is a link to the side effects of Avastin if you have not had time to find one?

I am sure that you are well aware of the need to discuss dietary change with your medical advisors. My intention is to try and inform the debate on the work of others so that other others may advise.
Respectfully
