I assume you've read up on B17 and cyanide content. If not, check this out: "https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/b17-vitamin#side-effects"
As to eating well to prevent recurrence of cancer, I've ALWAYS eaten well--NO junk food or pre-prepared food etc., but I still got endometrial cancer.
I'm not saying go ahead eat what you want, but diet isn't THE answer. Why did I get cancer? The doctor doesn't know. I suspect it was caused by radiation to my pelvis 12 years ago for anal cancer, which was likely HVP-caused, though no one checked me for that, ever.
Supplements cost a lot, and although I also take them, am considering focusing more on whole foods., and staying away from anything that has estrogen in it. This includes supplemental quercetin, which my naturopath suggested I take.
We all must do our research.

I agree food doesn't cure cancer, but food will impact the immune system. A body that is deficient in nutrients or a body that has toxins in its system will also have an immune system that's not functioning properly.

So yes food is important for health and cancer recurrance prevention.

yes i have done considerable research on it...and for me its worth the risk...but every person is different as you say.
But my team of oncologists are happy atm with what i'm doing and even though i am BRCA1 with my blood being the way it is as far as really slow to rebuild, they really didn't want to put me on one of the drugs to work against the brca gene (ie Lynparza and whatever the other was) because the Lynparza works against my seizure meds and the other is REALLY hard on blood levels so they didn't feel it would be a good fit either...ergo "keep doing what i'm doing" My labwork even being 4 months out from my last chemo still has my wbc, neutrophils, rbc, platelets, hemacrit and hemoglobin low... so they don't feel that is the best treatment for me, especially since i still show no evidence of disease...
