Hello. I am new to the site so I'll briefly introduce myself.
Born in Lincoln but lived most of my life near Glasgow. Moved to France after retirement in 2002 where I now live permanently.
Diagnosed with bowel cancer in February. Happy New Year!
Then had 5 weeks of radiation with chemo ( orally). This was followed by surgery, an ileostomy bag, and recently, removal of the bag. I now face the dreaded chemo, by transfusion, in about 10 days time.
I have read that fasting prior to, and during the 2/3 days of chemo, protects the good cells and also reduces the nasty side effects. I don't think the research is finished, but has anyone found this to be the case? Thanks, keep smiling!
