Rectal Radiation and Nutrition: Anyone have plant-based diet advice?

Oh @amariewilkinson, I can hear how despondent you're feeling getting this news that a new, albeit tiny mass, has been discovered in the distal rectum underneath the lining of the rectal wall. I'm bringing @hopeful33250 into this discussion. Like you, she has had multiple GI neuroendocrine tumors and knows what it is like to get that news just when you think you're getting back on your feet again.
You're in good hands with Mayo Clinic. Is it being suggestion that you get surgery or additional radiation?

Thank you! I am set for another EUS procedure tomorrow and a backup plan for Thursday would be in my surgeon’s OR instead if they still can’t get to it. My anatomy is messed up due to the first resection surgery is why they’re saying they couldn’t get to it the first time last week. They aren’t recommending anything until they know something further but I’m sure the next thing my surgeon will say is have my bottom permanently removed with permanent colostomy bag. I’m 42 and have 3 very young kids to care for 😬
