I'm 82 years old and newly discovered bladder cancer. Thoughts??

I’m 64. Had an aggressive, cancerous tumor removed from my bladder last August. It was caught early so no chemo. Now, in June , after a camera check, doctor says there’s 3 more tiny ones he wants to remove. Says they’re like weeds . They’ll just pop up. I’m wondering how I can prevent them from coming back. I went on the carnivore diet and that helped tremendously. No glucose or glutamine is stopping them from growing. Wish there was a way to stop them from coming back at all.

Welcome, @drs460mayo. It sounds like your recurrence is non-invasive and non-muscle-invasive, which are typically treated the same as early stage bladder cancer. You can read more in this article:

However, I believe you're asking what dietary or lifestyle changes can you make to reduce the risk of recurrence. Have you considered consulting an oncology registered dietitian?
