This is my second time getting breast cancer. The first time I didn’t change my diet (mostly healthy but treats on weekend) so here I am with stage 4. I now see a functional practitioner and after a genetics test shows that my body cannot tolerate grains, turns excess protein to blood sugar and my body needs a lot of fat! So every one is different when it comes to food. But the one thing that is definite is that cancer loves glucose! So try and cut down sugar, I know many people like to say this is a myth but there’s plenty of evidence and studies to prove this. I am on a strict keto diet which I enjoy, this will also help with inflammation after radiotherapy etc.
Maybe a genetic test would be best for you if you want to get it right. And also soy/almond milks can contain a lot of sugar and other ingredients so be wary. Can’t be organic cows milk

Thankyou for this. I had read about sugar and have cut it out but hadn’t done my homework about it being in soy and almond milk. Need to read packaging and not rely on my assumptions.
I am so sorry that it has returned, I hope the treatment will be successful for you. X

Sorry I forgot to ask, how would I go about getting a genetics test for my diet? X
I did mine with a company called nutrition genome (plenty of other companies online). Ordered the kit, just a quick mouth swap then send it back to the lab. With the test I did there was a lot of interesting stuff about my hormones (how they contributed to the cancer) and also genes that determine whether I’m drug resistant to chemo etc.
Hope it helps, it’s definitely worth doing.
