One other thing I would say after having this bloody awful disease for three years (can’t believe I’m saying that) is that at some points I have been able to eat normally and at others (bowel obstruction and chylous ascites) not. I try to have a healthy diet but occasionally it has been about the number of calories not how I get them, or low density or >10g of fat.

As a matter of interest why do you suddenly start typing in capital letters. It is very odd , is it supposed to mean something? IMHO, cancer is anything but suicidal, it fights on and on and usually never gives up until the person with cancer dies, thus depriving the cancer of blood and whatever it needs to grow. I cannot see how cancer makes any judgement on any day, but I can see that even it if it did have consciousness it has no intention to kill the person it is in. There's no Judgement Day, that's just a fairy tale to scare us all into being better ppl. Many cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, lead to a big increase in the levels of reactive oxygen species,” says Vousden. “So we wanted to find out if starving cancer cells of serine and glycine would be more effective if we put cancer cells under oxidative stress.”Anyway, Violence, Destruction and Cessation are attributes of existence, as we understand the universe and everything in it. McLelland underwent surgery to remove the tumor in her lung, and she endured six months of chemo (at a much lower dose than that recommended by her oncologist). But this time, she also employed a strategy to starve the cancer’s stem cells. By the way, I have to add here that I had surgery for my colon cancer just like Chris Wark did, and it was successful just like his was, and I have been in remission ever since, also without the use of chemo. Since I’m not far enough out from it, I can’t claim a “cure,” but I suspect what cured Chris’ cancer were his DOCTORS not his diet.] I've mapped out ovarian but I think your neuroendocrine is wandering off on a different horse - did they give you any more clues or suggest any treatment? I know you may not want treatment but the suggestions are useful for seeing how things work. I think the neuroendo aspect of this indicates a couple of signalling pathways. I'm on this for you because as you suspect - it's dense reading. But McLelland refused to go down without a fight. Taking matters into her own hands, she dug through medical journals, poring over long-forgotten research and overlooked evidence, looking for clues to overcoming her cancer.

My sister appears to have got remission from her breast cancer after double mastectomy and chemo, so sometimes cancer can be beaten, no doubt about this. My mother’s cancer was a huge wake-up call to me to re-evaluate the situation I’d found myself in. For the first time ever, I realized I was only one step away from terminal cancer,” McLelland said. “That’s when I started looking at diet and supplementation in more detail as a way to combat cancer.”It's very difficult to prove a negative. Particularly for every possible input set. Every possible dosing scheme and combination? Realistically close to zero chance that something will be conclusively proven.I find pubmed data valuable. A wider range of inputs and outputs. I blend it with RCTs when I can and weigh the RCT findings higher. So, the pressure on western big pharma is intensifying and that's why such fierce activity...one reason is that we are close to knowing some very basic info about the process of cancer and the fear is that what if some one comes and proves that an old, cheap medicine is as effective as their 10000 dollar a month pill. The other fear is that what if someone from eastern part of our world finds out a herb in Himalayan valley which delays progression for 10-15 years. The billion dollar a year profit gets in serious trouble. Scientists are a persistent bunch though, and don’t give up easily. Over the last decade there’s been a renewed interest in finding out exactly how cancer cells get the nutrients they need to grow.
