Diet restrictions with DCIS diagnosis?

Posted by kikay @kikay, Dec 15, 2023

I just want to know if there are any diet restrictions or any suggestions of diet. I was told by my oncologist to eat plant based and no sweets. Fish and Turkey. Fruits and veggies. This is something new to me all these diet . If you guys are craving for sweets, what is the alternative sweets if no sweets diet?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

I have been on that same diet since diagnose in July2023 at first I had cravings for sweet I just ate fruits the cravings went away once my body got adjusted. I don't eat anything sweet just fruits veg drink water you will adjust.after a while cheer up

I still eat sorbet every day with tea. I am 9 years out.

There is a lot of info on cancer diets. I eat healthy otherwise!

I eat peanut butter and jam toast when I get bad sweet cravings. It’s also great for protein that I lack.

My Oncologist, who is amazing, said there are no restrictions, but instead to have the “everything in moderation” mindset. That includes everything from food, sugar, alcohol etc. Don’t stop living normally and be miserable, but don’t go overboard either.

Honey is a natural sugar that is easier for your body to process and has many benefits. I use honey in salad dressings to sweeten.
You can do your research - I found this on the internet... anti-tumor effects of honey have been examined using several cancer cell lines and tissue. Honey has been proven to decrease the tumorigenicity of different cancer types including breast, lung, skin, renal, prostate, colorectal, and cervical cancer.
Buying honey from a local farmer or bee maid honey is in its purest form. Anything from China is not.

I am in the same boat. Lose weight and eat veggie and fruit. To help combat cancer. I prefer drink now data is green tea.
