Nutrition in cancer

Posted by Helen, Volunteer Mentor @naturegirl5, Sep 25, 2019

I met with a Mayo Clinic dietician last week. My cancer was treated with surgery (radical hysterectomy) and I do not need radiation or chemotherapy. My goal is to move forward with healthy choices in what I eat and drink and the consult taught me a lot. I'm wondering how others here manage their nutrition.

@skoshi and @dianamiracle I don’t know about any store bought natural mouthwashes, but the oncologists that I worked with had the patients use a mixture of baking soda and salt. 1/4tsp of each in warm tap water. Works really well to prevent prednisone-caused mouth ulcers. Works great!
