Thank you for sharing your story.

hi- I too am researching how a healthy diet can "starve cancer." I have ordered Jane McCLellan's book. I also read "Eat to Live" by dr. Fuhrman which encourages a plant based diet.
Question: you say metformin helps. Could you elaborate? Does he have diabetes?
The drs. told my husband he was diabetic when he went to the hospital w itching and Jaundice, and found the tumor. His glucose was 430. He's been on insulin for 4 months, not metformin. He has a continuous glucose meter on his arm. With a changed diet and loss of 55 pounds (a healthy loss as he was overweight), his blood sugar is much better now. I think his insulin dosing was too high, and I asked twice about reducing insulin, and dr agreed. Doseage has been reduced by 35%.
He just finished cycle 7 of folfirinox. I too tried to find evidence about what a change in diet could accomplish to "starve the cancer." The drs don't seem to want to pursue that path! Few focus on nutrition. At best, most have said 4 words: "Eat Fruits and Vegetables" (Or Eat Mediterranean diet). Some drs have told others I know with pan can to "eat whatever they want." I feel like diet is the one thing we can control, so he (and I) gave up all alcohol and red meat, and try not to have sugar, desserts and processed foods/carbs. The sugars appear to be the worst in "feeding the cancer." He still eats dairy, although I've read that's bad too. His overall health has improved--lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lower glucose, lower LDL, lower triglycerides. Minimal belly fat. I want to believe the new diet makes him better able to handle the chemo, and hopefully not encourage growth on the tumor.
