Hello everyone, I am from Canada A town just north of Toronto and last summer I was diagnosed with Non-HODGKINS lymphoma and Large Diffuse B Cell Lymphoma, right in the middle of marathon training to have qualified for Boston. For the most part R-CHOP chemo was successful in Most of my body, but it was not successful in my hip and groin area. I qualified for CAR-T in December , had my cells extracted on January 20 and and I begin my treatments on February 15. As some of you may know, CAR-T is a second line of defence up here in Canada. What I am really struggling with right now is what type of diet to commence on the 15th and onwards, do I follow a strict keto diet or do I take the pesco vegetarian route? All the research I’ve done seems to be pretty much split in the middle, The keto crowd saying that all the carbs in the PVG will cause a glucose rise and cancer loves glucose. Where the PVG crowd is totally anti Keto. Prior to my diagnosis, I was very successful in maintaining my fitness level and my weight on a Mediterranean diet. If anyone has stories that combine a certain type of diet and lymphoma with CAR-T treatment, I would be very interested.

I had Car T for the same cancer. I also was very fit. I did not waste my time on any specific diet. I ate a well balanced meal supplemented by a bit of extra protein. Worked great.
