Diet

From what I've read, this is basically a low GI diet, but with a few differences, eg all fruit and veggies are great. I stuck to this absolutely religiously for a year during my treatment – I never let myself even consider 'cheating' and I can honestly say it enabled my body to cope - with chemo in particular. It still made me feel totally crap and the nausea was horrendous on the chemo days, but I was pretty ok in between which I put down to my supplements and diet.

The longer I've been off my intensive treatment, and the better I feel in body and mind I find I no longer need some of these supplements - and have definitely lapsed diet wise in a few areas! I do try and maintain a healthy lifestyle though with everything in moderation. In terms of supplements, as a maintenance schedule I take a multivitamin, Omega 3 and spirulina.
