Hi,
This is my first post, so sorry if I'm repeating earlier members questions. I have colon cancer and am undergoing chemotherapy. I haven't received much detailed information on dietary recommendations other than a general overview. I probably didn't ask as there is a lot of information to absorb. I am hoping someone can recommend some literature that would help me understand what foods I should avoid and what I shouldn't.
Thanks
Hi Umberto6a0cec and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, which is divided into different support groups.
To connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you, and who should be able to point you in the right direction for dietary advice, I'm going to recommend that you join the bowel cancer group.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.

No problem Umberto6a0cec
The New to the Community group is like the entrance hall with the individual groups the rooms people move into so that they can ask questions. Because of this it's less likely that you'll get a "quick answer" to your question here but I accept that the online community doesn't suit everyone.
If you change your mind you don't need to go into a great deal of medical information to ask for dietary advice.
Wishing you all the best.
