My Husband's journey with Glioblastoma

Collin----can you give me an idea of your typical "grocery list" or a few meal combinations that you use frequently for your Dad? For the last year, I have been buying sprouted grain bread, eliminating all white breads and pastas. I stay away from fast food, anything processed, avoid anything with added sugars and buy things with reduced sodium. I also eliminated most dairy except for cheese and plain Greek Face yogurt. We eat almonds, walnuts, flax seed, avocado, berries and green vegetables. I think what I am doing is a good start, but the Ketogenic diet seems to say to avoid all breads, pasta, and any carbs, which would also mean crackers, pretzels, etc. I try to avoid all desserts, but my husband is one who loves and craves everything he shouldn't. I'm thinking skipping dinner periodically would accomplish the fasting you talk about. Just curious to hear a typical day or two of menu. Thank you.

Well things are not going very well for Otis. I wish I could find a good drug, trial or otherwise, for a non-methylated tumor. He is now on carboplatin, but I am not very encouraged that it is working. He has an MRI on 8/5/21 and if the tumor is not stable or shrinking, we will need yet another option.
