Ibrance and Letrozole: Newly Diagnosed Treatment

I haven't seen anyone recommending looking at nutrition to help fight cancer. Regardless of whether you are taking the surgery / chemo / radiation / or hormone therapies, nutrition can play a big role in restoring health. There are many books out there with good information written by people who beat their cancer by totally changing their diet. Having a healthy diet is surely not going to hurt and may make a big difference. Two books that I am reading are: Chris Beat Cancer - A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally - written by Chris Wark; and, Keep Your Breasts! - Preventing Breast Cancer the Natural Way - written by Susan Moss. They explain a lot of the science of cancer and some of the natural foods that will help you fight it by boosting and repairing your immune system. No insurance needed and certainly does not hurt to practice healthy eating, exercise and stress control / meditation.

I am 80 years old and had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation just this last year. I don't want to take anti-estrogens, so I'm not. I am HER2positive.
My surgeon told me to start having a plant based diet. Thank you for the above information.

My impression is that a lot of people dealing with this are making changes to their diet, maybe just writing about it. I certainly am on the theory that anything that might help general health and immune system is a net positive whether it prevents bad cancer news or not. At the least, I may be better able to deal with any health challenges. I do however allow a lemon ice cream (Trader Joe's new flavor) exemption to whole food plant based goal.
