Hi Everyone,

I've been diagnosed with SLL. I'm fit, active and feel fine.  My consultant has decided I can be on Watch and Wait, which is fine by me.  My husband and I have been eating healthily for years, but I'm uncertain as to which foods I can now eat.  I've always done home cooking, but occasionally buy pies from our local baker.  I make sausage rolls with bought puff pastry and sausage meat.  Are these now a no no?

We're hoping to be able to continue eating out safely, once lockdown comes to an end, but many restaurants serve their vegetable al dente.  Do I need to ask the waitress to ensure they are well cooked?

I'm hoping that somewhere on here is a comprehensive list of advice.  Searching the internet has brought up coflicting advice, which has left me confused.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've been diagnosed with SLL and it's natural that you want to do all you can to help yourself.

    I can see that you've already joined the SLL group and I'm sure if you post your questions about diet there you'll find support from other members. When you're ready to do this just click on the link I've created and then start a new post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
