I'm three and a half years past diagnosis. No doctor has made any suggestions. However, I suggest a common sense healthy diet in the Mediterranean style--fruits, vegetables, lean protein. etc. The main research I've seen suggests not drinking alcohol. However, there are a lot of extreme suggestions out on the internet, which I'd avoid, along with fringe theories. My best advice is see a nutritionist, talk through your concerns, and get some guidelines. Personally, I emphasize generally healthy habits but want to retain pleasure in eating, particularly with my family.

I agree with the other comments about reading Chris Beat Cancer. He also has a cookbook filled with delicious, whole-food, plant-based, organic recipes. And yes, read Dr. William Li's “Eat to Beat the Disease”; his feedback is also constructive. I think all of these survivors/doctors basically recommend the same thing: and that is to eat a whole food, plant-based, organic diet. Eliminate all processed foods, sugar, and alcohol. I know it can seem like a lot, but once you do it, everything changes, and you'll enjoy your food/life even more than before. Your taste buds will change and improve dramatically, and the added benefit is that you'll feel fantastic and empowered, as you're supporting/boosting your immune system, which is critical in fighting cancer. Sadly, this aspect of our health is often overlooked or ignored by the doctors treating us, and I believe it means everything to our success/survival.

A longer window between dinner and breakfast was shown to lessen likelihood of reoccurrence in rat studies and there are lots of articles about it. 13/14 hours seems to be the sweet spot per the research.
