I also followed a high protein diet 60-90 grams daily starting with surgery and still going today. I found through research that the more quality protein you are able to ingest the better your cells have to rebuild with. the treatments are meant to breakdown and destroy cells good and bad so help your body rebuild. after all is clear then you can go veg. and or low protein.

Good Luck!
