Some how I have overlooked the fact that what I eat now can either help or hinder the spread of cancer in my body. When my sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer (colon, liver, lung) a few years back, she completely changed her diet. She stopped eating sugar, only ate organic fruits and veggies, and used a juicer among other things. Some how all of that just blew right past me these past few weeks since I was first diagnosed, and I'm not even half way through my treatment. I have been focusing on the low-iodine diet I need to start in two weeks, but that was all I was thinking about as far as diet was concerned. I had made changes to my diet earlier this year when I joined Weight Watchers at Work, so I figured that was good enough since I lost over 30 pounds, but I now realize that my diet will need to be completely tweaked once I complete the low-iodine diet.
What brought me back down to earth was a phone call I had with a good friend, Kristin, a few days back. Since she had successfully dealt with her own health issues a few years back, she shared with me some of the things she did to bring the sanity back into her life, which mostly meant taking better care of herself, including changing her diet. I found a book called "Cancer: 50 Essential Things To Do" that pretty much covered everything she had done and then some. So I've got a few things to work on that should keep me on track to fighting this thing that has taken my thyroid away from me. I'll try to cover some if not all of the topics here in my blog as well as the dietary changes I need to make.
Well Said! As we all are well aware of the fact that people face health issues to have an appetite during cancer treatment. To ensure the healthiest diet for you, there are certain instructions and recommendations by cancer specialists in India, listed that will help you cope with your treatment and come out healthier.
