@topf - I suppose it was a little of both in the way the appointment happened. The cancer center gave me a packet of some info when I was first diagnosed, talking about various services and support available to cancer patients, and one of those mentioned having access to cancer-specific nutritionists.

I kept that in the back of my mind, until recently, then mentioned it during my 6-month follow-up, and the NP set it up for me.

@jeffmarc - I didn’t ask about dairy, no. As far as butter, he did mention that I should favor olive oil and avocado oil over butter. We didn’t talk much about cheese or milk, but at one point, he did say that (apart from the deli & cured meats), nothing was strictly off-limits, but to just practice moderation.
