Hello, really appreciate you taking the time sharing your treatment journey with us. Sound like you have an amazing oncologist. This is super awesome.

When you say, no food containing estrogen … you mean plant food like flax, soy, etc that we know have phyto estrogen?
I was also told to stop medicinal mushrooms consumption during chemo & restriction continues while on Keytruda too.

I have been strictly on no-oil vegan diet but recently started including eggs & fish for the sake of protein. Not sure good idea or bad.

For exercise, I just walk whenever I can, especially as weather permits.

I have also run into the sleep issues. Massaging bottom of my feet with little bit oil, including area in-between toes.
I wear thin socks to prevent oil stains to sheets & take them off if feeling hot. This has tremendously improved the sleep situation. Hope it works for you as well.

We're you on a restrictive diet like that before your diagnosis? Some people can eat like that, but others don't do so well.

I have a friend who has tried to be vegetarian, but can barely last a week before he starts feeling awful. He then tried just eliminating red meat, while still eating fish and chicken. That lasted about a year, after which he said he felt weak, was always cold, and had brain fog. He then ate a hamburger and claimed he almost immediately felt the brain fog lift. He concluded that there was a nutrient in red meat that he needs (not iron; he was taking supplement).

estrogen: meat, white and red. Flax seed OK but make sure it is not from China or India, as the soil is contaminated with cadmium and copper. Re soy: OK in moderation, t be careful of soy powders. Eggs although high in fat, don't seem to have estrogen (as far as I can figure). Fish is excellent: cold water, salmon is best in moderation sardines and mackerel better, cause they're little -- no mercury. Larger fish -- swordfish, halibut, should be eaten minimally if at all. No shellfish, apparently.
Eat mushrooms, not the supplements. Broccoli and kale really important--eat every day. Beans, lentils, quinoa all good. Whole gain starches -- brown/red rice, steel cut oats, bulgar, farrow all good.
Fruit and vegs are IMPORTANT. Don't skimp.
