fear of food now

Hi John ssyne, what sort of problem are you having with the diet?  is different food affecting you or are you just worried that something you eat might give you a repeat of the cancer? It is over a year since I finished my treatment and I eat most of the things I used to eat pre diagnosis.

Cheers, John

Hi John

I think that is a normal feeling, as I have also felt that what I eat is affecting my health etc. I now try to eat very healthily. Include fresh fruit and veg in my diet, every day. Lots of water, and no alcohol unless I am in a social event etc. I count my alcohol units at all times  and now prefer to drink tea! I also make sure I eat fibre each day, as I definitely was not aware of the importance of fibre to good 'gut health'. I also try my very best to avoid packaged sugary snacks.. everything in moderation for me these days!

I try to read and research to keep healthily and I always try to include a brisk walk in the day, or a cycle. These are the ways I try to cope with the oral chemo I am on (almost done with it!) and to live a healthier lifestyle.

Take care, wishing you all the best going forward.
