Cancer treatment

Hi, I was diagnosed last march with thyroid cancer, two surgeries and radioactive iodine later I am feeling well but still reeling, while going through the treatment `i went on a very low carb diet, keto is very extreme, who knows if it helped but I felt like I was doing something and had some control.  I have read alot and it seems anti cancer diets are either vegan or keto

After all the treatment life has returned to normal and I have really struggled to keep up the diet and live a normal life with socialising, without your family believing in the benefits its hard to keep very low carb, keto must be so much harder! just seeing your post is a reminder to get back on track because I do believe that there is some truth in it, but we are all individuals so what works for one might not work for someone else.

My second surgery was much more straightforward than the first with a much faster recovery, and though the diet is a pain the radioactive iodine is fine,, just a bit scary and annoying being shut away for three days.  I did not really suffer any side effects just a little nausea and tiredness.

Sending you best wishes and I do hope if you decide to do the diet it works for you, in the end I found following it made life quite stressful and the stress was probably causing as much harm as a normal diet, now I try to stay mainly low carb but try not to get upset when it all falls apart

Sending best wishes

Thank you very much for your response. I have scheduled the second surgery for next month. And honestly cannot sleep because of anxiety. My emotions are up and down...How do you manage through everything?

I have FVPTC and had started Keto 3 weeks before I started to feel unwell... My husband is sure it had an affect in all of this but haven't researched tbh.

I stopped it obviously as being ill and dieting doesn't work lol
