Jennifer, Let me first say I am not a health nut per say however - I am a vegetarian - I eat no fish, meat or dairy. I do have the occasional egg. (I don't eat dairy because I have an allergy to it) I don't drink alcohol, or smoke, and don't do drugs. I try to eat organic as much as possible, and any eggs I eat are organic from grain fed free run chickens. Plus I go to the gym at least 5 times a week - walk with my dog once a day and play ball with him every morning. No one in my house smokes and I work in a smoke free environment - and I still got cancer. I do believe that a healthy lifestyle will help you with your recovery I do believe that some Chinese medicines have value however when it comes to cancer despite the trauma of the treatment - it's best to seek out the best in their field and do what they say. So go ahead change your diet and lifestyle, I have no doubt it will help immensely in how you feel, but stick with the tried
and true on the medical front - and if you do try to do some alternative therapies in tandem with your regular treatment make sure your dr.s are well aware of it. I am 10 days post dx - and yes my pooch is a rescue dog! Best of luck!
