does she have any tips for chemo and radiation ? anything i can buy to make greg's journey easier.
since last month he quit smoking cigarettes completely, he goes on a walk daily (usually about 2,000 steps) - We have been cutting out sugar out of our diets (since cancer feeds on glucose - sugar and carbs.. and chronic inflammation with high sugar intake, always since its ) and cutting down on salt/sodium as well ( increases inflammation, weakens the immune response, harms beneficial gut bacteria, raises blood pressure and swelling - could worsen edema.)

We are on very similar paths. My wife stays active, with taking daily 1-2 mile walks. She is also on a keto-genic diet- no sugar and low carbs. She is also on a strict supplement regimen to decrease inflammation and boost immune system. Despite all this, the fatigue is real, and she often has to push through it. I know everyone is different, but generally anything he can do to improve his health can be helpful. Fresh, organic, low sugar fruits and veggies; fresh air and sunshine ( wear sunscreen and cover up when undergoing treatment); and something we need to do more of: laugh and love life! Feel free to write back- we're all in this battle together.
