his diet is horrible....he has a massive sweet tooth (possibly pre-diabetic) and snacks on chips and other junk food
doesn't like vegetables, so rarely eats any
probably too much red meat, but no cholesterol problems so he does what he wants, french fries are his preferred side dish
I do most of the cooking so he does eat well-prepared chicken meals 4 or 5 nights a week, but likes pizza and other take out
and he lives on diet pepsi
it makes me crazy
I try to use the Mediterranean diet in preparing our meals, as well as the DASH diet recommentations
I do very few supplements and he does none
they are not regulated by the FDA and the quality parameters concern me;
R-alpha lipoic acid is presumed to be helpful with the PN

as to the "anticipatory" grief upon hearing the word cancer, there are therapists who can help with that and put it in perspective, but it may take some work to find one who is a good fit, to help live in the present
