As far as your dietary concerns, a healthy diet is always better. I dont know of any scientifically proven studies which support it extending anyones time. Unless it has been scientifically proven thru years of studies it wouldnt be something that anyone here would know about. They may be able to suggest some healthy ideas but at this time there isnt anything non-medical that can reverse this. Im very sorry!!!
Best wishes with everything you are dealing with. Im sure its very difficult for you right now, my heart goes out to you. Is hospice something available as a resource for you in Canada? Ive heard they can help tremendously. They are specialists and know how to handle a situation like this.
