2 years agoWhat kind of diet should I be doing? Right-side breast cancer, HER2 positive. It is not in my lip node's. But I'm having two different scans to see if it's in any other parts of my body because my calcium, bone markers, are high. What can I be eating to strengthen my body and heart?
Accepted Answer
Many people going through cancer treatment find that focusing on nutrient-dense foods like lean proteins, colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and staying well-hydrated can help support their body during this challenging time. It's wonderful that you're thinking proactively about nutrition - consider discussing specific dietary recommendations with your oncology team or a registered dietitian who specializes in cancer care, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your treatment plan and any side effects you might experience.

6 months agoThank you for the recommendation of Moving Through Cancer. I have battled breast cancer (starting 3c metastatic 8 years ago -then 3 years ago came back in my sacrum stage 4 ) no one has been clear on diet and supplements or exercise. The book was awesome The author wrote it after his wife had cancer and he used studies to come up with his info. 💕💕 to all of you have been in the battle with me.

6 months agoCruciferous vegetables - like broccoli. But really, if you focus on whole foods, and getting adequate protein and fiber you'll be better off than most ♡
