I don't believe that anti-oxident diets are recommended for cancer patients.
If you go to UCSF a nutritionist is automatic and will meet with you weekly. A nutritionist should be an integral part of your team.
I had IMRT at UCSF and still go there for checkups. My doctor is a professor in radiation oncology and highly published. I personally feel that she is one of the best in the world. If you wish to know her name email me privately.
