Talking Frankly about Living with Advanced Cancer

Lung stage 4. After chemo treatment usually sick 6-10 days. Only ear crackers when take pills twice daily. Never feel good but get very weak as nothing stays down. Need food to get back strength as get treatment every 21 days.

I did the 72 hr fast for my first chemo for Ovc , now that’s a long fast! Carbo & Doxel , I didn’t get sick on the third day.

Ovarian 3C. Honestly, once you get into fasting you will find it easier and certainly you will feel so much better. I do.

@starko I find this interesting. Do you allow yourself clear fluids during your fast, meaning not just water but perhaps tea and broth?

Just want to say I truly believe in fasting. I fasted for at least 36 hours each time I had chemo and although it was never a walk in the park, I never felt even remotely nauseous. I am in remission but still fast 16 hours for five days each week. It makes me sleep better and gives me energy.

What type of cancer do you have? That’s a lot of fasting and don’t know I could do it but try.

I’m on my second recurrence now, with Carbo and Doxil, the third was my bad day, but it could have been worst if I hadn’t fasted for 60 hours.
And that was hard, I like to eat, but I was told the best way to do it was to fast and it effects the cancer cells harder! Well I like that idea, and I didn’t get very much nausea either.
So far so good.
I declined on the major surgery , because I didn’t think I could handle it, but mostly because they have shown that taking Chemo or the surgery doesn’t show any difference in recurrence. In fact Germany is really studying this idea and believe the Chemo does the same results without the damage the surgery does to our bodies.
