Hey

I have been cancer free for four years, but I am always worried it will come back. Is there any dietary changes you have made to decrease the risk of your cancer coming back?

I have seen a bunch of documentaries proposing veganism, but frankly, I like food too much. I've also seen youtube videos about health benefits from tumeric, black pepper, honey etc. Basically I am trying to actively reduce my fear of cancer and I think by actively playing a part in my diet I will feel less terrified.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi @rcc0088

How are you doing today?

I am happy to hear you are free from cancer. I think there is a bunch of trial and error around the best diet for your body- no one really knows. But it could be safe to say that eating non-processed foods and fruits and vegetables is a good start!

I will tag a few people who may be able to comment on diets they have stuck to.

Do you follow a particular diet (while you live with or without cancer)? Who gave you this diet plan? Has it seemed to helped your cancer or body deal with cancer? What advice can you give to @rcc0088 ?

Take care,

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
