I see there hasn't been much new information on this thread - but I'm BRCA2+ Triple negative (Dx Nov 21) but had 'border-line' ovarian cancer about 35 years ago. Only family member to have cancer was father (dx when he was 60) and he passed away at 96 YO - treated only with surgery. My ovarian ca was also only treated with surgery since it was very early. Since my TNBC dx, I've had chemo and Bilateral (going flat) and now getting ready for radiation - starts next week. After that I was told I'd be on maintenance meds for a while (probably Lynparza). My son has tested positive but my daughter is negative; I'd advised my siblings to get tested but have yet to hear back if any of them are going to get tested. I only have one sibling that has children so I strongly suggested she get tested - which I think she has scheduled.

How has your knowledge of mutation impacted your treatment choices and changes to lifestyle? I'm confused about how much my diet will impact what I have. I eat pretty healthy - limiting processed foods, sugars and eating plenty of veggies, grains and fruits and limiting my red meats - but how far do you go with diet? I've read about people that go completely all-green; doing intermittent fasting; all keto - is there anything that proven that will really impact recurrence of cancer when it comes to diet?
