@twocents, any cancer that spreads (metastacizes) to other sites in the body beyond the original tumor is called stage 4 cancer or advanced cancer. While diet and exercise may not actually prevent the cancer from spreading, it can help improve health and strength if it should come back. Remember the other side of the equation. There is a 50% change that it will NOT spread. I would focus on that.

May I ask how old your husband is?

Thank you Colleen. I appreciate the information. Yes we are trying to focus on the 50 percent chance that it won’t spread. I’m trying to encourage my husband and help him to eat healthy and exercise. He’s not one that has ever done either so it’s quite and challenge for me and frustrating. My husband is 67 years old. Thanks again
