The following is a quote from Jeanne Wallace, PhD, a researcher and expert in cancer nutrition. "When you get a cancer diagnosis, suddenly you become a very powerless person. You are traipsing through the hospital as a name and number, people do all kinds of procedures to you, and you have a life-threatening condition, which many doctors maintain you have no control over." Her advice to patients? She tells them, "You could make some changes with your diet and it would give you some sense of empowerment." She continues to say, "Even though patients might not have total control over their cancer, they do have some influence." There are many posts on this blog about foods that will help you fight cancer. I believe diet is one of the most overlooked but important pieces of the arsenal in a persons cancer fight.
This is, of course, general information. Certain foods work better with certain types of cancer. Your doctor and nutritionist will be able to help you know what will work best for you. Just remember to consider your foods as part of your medicines to help you get better.
