I agree with the last two posts. Until there's strong evidence and a medical consensus about a causal relationship between any kind of diet and prostate-cancer progression, your best bet is to continue to eat what would constitute a healthy diet if you *didn't* have cancer.

That can vary depending on your beliefs, culture, and other medical conditions (like allergies, high cholesterol or diabetes), but essentially, your grandma had the right idea: cover 1/2 of your plate with vegetables, 1/4 with starches (rice, potatoes, etc), and 1/4 with a higher-protein source. Eat modest-sized 1940s portions, not super-sized 2020s portions (buy smaller plates if it helps). Don't eat the same thing every day — especially not red meat, which your grandma probably couldn't afford to eat every day anyway.

As they reportedly say in the U.S. military, K.I.S.S.

Chemo does affect your immune system and your red blood cell. So you may need iron intake to bring the level up, depending on your blood test of course. . Also you would need calcium to harden your bones so as to minimize the risk of bone metastasis. Beef may be considered a good source of iron. Vitamin D and K help your body to absorb these elements into the system. Also Vitamin Bs.
