Hi all
just added a post about my dads recent diagnosis of stage 4 RCC
I wondered (this may be a completely stupid question so please bare with me) if anyone has had any alternative therapies or cut certain foods out of their diet that have helped reduce further metastasis??
the sheer desperation to help keep him well and with us for as long as possible is the reason I ask
thank you in advance
No you are not stupid I was told by my counsellor to go on a no meat kind of vegan diet as she said it would help, I did try for 6 months but I did give up in the end as I lost my taste buds for two years, but with the new treatment I am on it has come back, the only problem now I am eating everything in sight now my husband is worrying that I will need new wardrobe if I continue, others might found it beneficial to cut down on meat dishes I actually eat quite a lot of fish I try to stay healthy so maybe your father might want to do that, I think as long as he is healthy and can get about he probably won’t want to give certain foods up and I wouldn’t blame him.
