I’m on my second recurrence now, with Carbo and Doxil, the third was my bad day, but it could have been worst if I hadn’t fasted for 60 hours.
And that was hard, I like to eat, but I was told the best way to do it was to fast and it effects the cancer cells harder! Well I like that idea, and I didn’t get very much nausea either.
So far so good.
I declined on the major surgery , because I didn’t think I could handle it, but mostly because they have shown that taking Chemo or the surgery doesn’t show any difference in recurrence. In fact Germany is really studying this idea and believe the Chemo does the same results without the damage the surgery does to our bodies.

Just want to say I truly believe in fasting. I fasted for at least 36 hours each time I had chemo and although it was never a walk in the park, I never felt even remotely nauseous. I am in remission but still fast 16 hours for five days each week. It makes me sleep better and gives me energy.
