Diet restrictions with DCIS diagnosis?

Vegan/vegetarian is not necessary, nor is it the answer to breast cancer. I have a lady in our cancer group that has never eaten meat of any kind in her life, as her parents were the same. She thrived on healthy and strong and did all the careful little things that I don’t have the energy or budget for. She got breast cancer at 40,
I do feel like we can make our lives better and our bodies stronger by eating the best that we can, and keeping our bodies as healthy as we can. This also helps when we do get cancer, being otherwise healthy might be the thing that gets us through it all.
If you are doing the navy version (love the term), you have plenty to think about without trying to change your entire diet. My guess is that you are already stronger than many who are joining this awful club, if you eat with an eye to healthy that’s all you can ask of yourself.
This is a time for absorbing the diagnosis, how are you feeling? Have you wandered around other conversations on connect ?

I havé a friend who is vegetarian. Very health conscious Her sister is too . They both got breast cancer . She got it in one breast and 2 years later the other. . She always says she and her sister are proof living a healthy vegetarian and vegan life doesn’t mean anything. They also did not have any of the genetic markers .
