I like to hear your story about fasting, fasting mimicking and Cancer

The description of your cancer sounds like mine. I had/have mixed serous/clear cell uterine cancer. It's rare, aggressive with a poor prognosis. I'm on a maintenance program. It relatively new. The research was published in 2020 I think. The treatment is old but new for use with uterine cancers.

I'm also looking at nutrition as a compliment to the drugs. I'm working with a holistic doctor but he doesn't really work with fasting. So I'm on my own for that. I'd like to keep talking with you about what you are doing and why

My approach is to correct whatever got me into a condition that made cancer thrive. In other words I'm healing my body and all it's system through nutrition.

Did they do a genomic and receptor analysis on your cancer. Has a hysterectomy been performed.
I am so sorry for you losses due to this diagnosis. The diagnosis of rare cancer with poor outcomes is devastating and friends and family can't understand what it does to the psyche. You sound young, with your comment to correct what caused the cancer. I'm 73 and had planned a life to about my 90's. But know I live 180 days til the next scan and a "NED" ..... Until I get a bad result, I am looking for glimmers of hope thru what others have done, please share what protocol you are on, I have been journaling, therapy ( psychology), reading books, trying to understand my genomic analysis. I plan to include dietary modifications to lessen the impact on the cancer if it returns.
Yes please keep in touch.. I can give you my email if public revelation is not you. Thanks joanne

Hi Denise, did you have any success with fasting/FMD? I’m in the early stages of my journey and was already fasting 16/8 so it’s not a big push for me to go longer or do FMD, but I’d love to hear your experience.

Firstly, I’m sorry that you’re going through this journey.

Chemotherapy is rough, and fasting got me through the treatments. 5 day water only fasting to be precise. Once every 3 weeks made it hard.

Over time I learned a lot about diet and my spiritual health as well. Dr Jason Fung writes about fasting and I did decide to “Go for it”, so to speak.
His books was not available at my local library day so it looked into spiritual fasting, which is prayer and water only fasting. I only made it to day 10, and the subsequent scans showed no signs of solid tumours (Stage 4 Prostate cancer that spread to my bones). The first 5 days are usually hard, then you don’t feel hungry. The spiritual component in my opinion is vital.
If you google “Nickerson Institute Psycho Oncology how unresolved trauma can cause cancer, you will find an interesting read about the two.

Best of luck on your journey.

I did the fast mimicking for the first 3 cycles. I was also following a metabolic syndrom diet. The combo resulted in a lost of wieghts loss. I was at a good wieght when I started chemotherapy so that much wieght loss was concerning. I did 3 cycles of fast mimicking a year earlier for reduction in bowel inflammation. In total I lost and kept off 20 lbs.

I would do it again. I'm im planning on doing another fast mimicking week. I just have to get into the mind set. Its only 5 days.

Do you see a functional or holistic doctor? I couldn't have come up with my nutritional plan on my own. I had help and guidance from a medical doctor who practices holistic medicine

Yes please do

I see a sarcoma oncologist. Since my first post , I have developed metastatic LMS in my he liver . I have undergone 5 months of heavy duty chemotherapy. I consult a nutritional specialist and did apply a diabetic plan.

Denise, the only thing I can reply to regarding your question, is the fact I am a member of Daily Wire, and recently someone on that site recommended I look into fasting for my cancer (lung). She had stage 3 cervical I believe. She was a scientist, so she knew how to deep dive into research. She said she did a 3 day fast before chemo (I'm not sure the course time of her treatment) and when they finally checked her again, the cancer was gone. She has been in remission for 2 years. She too is all for alternative medicine. She fully believes the fasting helped. I surely hope something works for you.
