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

Hello @amariewilkinson,
I can understand your distress at thinking about dealing with another issue after just finishing treatment. I have had three surgeries for carcinoids of the upper digestive tract and I understand how difficult it is to face yet another possible problem.
It sounds to me as if it has not yet been determined to be another cancer lesion but perhaps scar tissue. Is that correct?
I am glad to hear that you are being seen at Mayo. I would encourage you to have a conversation with your medical team and tell them your feelings about another biopsy. It is definitely worth a conversation.
Can you try that?

Question: My mother has a tumor in her rectum. She is 63 years old. Question: What type of food is she allowed specifically? I want to know the types of foods.

Thank you, yes, they don’t know what it is but it did show up on the MRI as a mass so.. 🤷♀️
They’ll only know more when they get in there and cut yet again to get biopsies. They just didn’t know what to tell me it could be. Haven’t had anything inside the lining before that isn’t raised above the lining so not sure what to expect but being less than 4 months out of radiation makes me hope it only has something to do with that possibly 🤷♀️
