Hello

Yesterday I was told I have breast cancer. My HER2 results are still not back yet and I need to go for a CT and PET scan.  I've not been told what type of breast cancer or stage etc, not sure if they know yet or just didn't tell me from fear of information overload? But the said there's 2 large tumours; one on Mt left breast and one in my left armpit/lymph node.

Anyway, as I was chomping through a Chinese takeaway last night with the family (as cooking went out the window) I realised I should start fuelling my body with something healthier than crispy shredded chilli beef and egg fried rice. So I jumped on Google and started looking for cancer friendly foods. Bamboozled is an understatement!! One site said eat more fruits, and other said avoid berries and fruits. So I thought I'd ask the experts....you lovely ladies.

Have any of you changed your diet and felt the benefit from it? I've decided to cut out as much processed food as possible and eat healthy, but should I be doing more? 

I seem to have a hundred questions constantly racing through my head, but I'll start with this one Slight smile

Thanks so much everyone, I've already had so much help, support, advice and kindness from people on this forum.
