I had recurrent low grade NMIBC for years. Had multiple resections which carried me for about 20 years, then had Mytomycin and BCG treatments only to later get high grade NMIBC. I suspect either the Mytomycin or BCG treatments elevated my cancer grade. My doctor now is suggesting Adstiladrin. Not sure if I want to take a chance on the cancer getting out of control but I don't have much faith in these treatments anymore. I've noticed for me that there is a link between inflammation and cancer recurrence. Cancer is a metabolic disease. We need to look at diet more closely for staving off future occurrences. After my next TURBT, I will go full keto with intermittent fasting. There are a lot of reputable studies now about this and it's looking as promising if not more than some of the these mediocre treatments. It is also important to mention that everyone has different food sensitivities that may be fueling their own cancer as no two humans are alike. I found out (through testing) that I am extremely sensitive to coffee. I've been drinking it for years. This very well may be my cancer cause. It may be different for you. Some food for thought...

Thank you for this. It ties in with some other reading I have been doing about a connection between nutrition and cancer. Is there a particular reason why you have chosen Keto instead of Mediterranean or some other nutrition plan?

Interesting perspective. I'm plant-based (vegan/vegetarian), diagnosed with high-grade NMIBC in 2023. BCG refractive after six treatments, now preparing for fourth Adstiladrin treatment. (Cystoscopies are clear so far, praise God). I suffer from chronic inflammation, perhaps due to stress and/or 2 - 3 cups of coffee daily. I suspect a potential bladder cancer link to mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, but no evidence to support this. Anyone care to opine on my conspiracy theory?

I’ve done some research on that because I love sweets. Recently a lot have come out on food intake related to cancer. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/newsfeed-post/sugars-role-in-cancer-1/
