@Courtney_J When I was in treatment I really didn't have the energy to pursue any particular diet. I just tried my best to eat fruits and vegetables. I remember hearing something about the Gerson diet at the time, but I'm not sure what it entails. I imagine that eating things that give you energy would help, since chemo is so draining. But when I was in chemo I was so nauseous that I didn't want to eat anything. Has anyone tried the Gerson diet?

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

Hello ladies,
How are you today?
Having a balanced diet when undergoing breast cancer treatment is very important. An adequate diet can not only increase the effectiveness of the treatment, but can also reduces its side effects by allowing the patient a better quality of life.
Have you changed your eating habits since diagnosis or treatment? Has your doctor recommended a special diet for breast cancer?
