These are my chemo socks (thanks Allison!). Wednesday I begin chemotherapy...big kid stuff...targeted for metastatic lung cancer. I feel good and hope to tolerate it well. I have been researching and have also decided to add fasting to my protocol. Turns out that cancer is addicted to sugar and if you fast or go on a ketogenic diet (less extreme form of Atkins diet) you fuel the body with fat and cancer starves. My cancer is advanced, so we will see if this can improve outcomes. There are several clinical trials using ketogenic diets and we are seeking one.
Serendipity - is this what a miracle is?! I was researching ketogenic diets and sent the video below to Craig. He sent me links on Ketogenic trials at the same time, without us ever discussing this option. AND on Saturday I learned that my brilliant PhD student niece is an expert on ketogenic science and is working at another hospital teaching cancer patients how to use ketogenisis to improve outcomes!!! I am blessed.
