This is more general information than anything, but from a diet point of view my advice is to avoid anything with sugar, cancer thrives on it!! It is one of the reasons they use glucose in pet scans because the cells using more glucose (or sugar) are likely to be cancer. Of course it isnt easy as sugar is hidden in so much these days but a good tip is avoid anything processed. Good luck.

Hi there,

I would advise that you speak to a dietician. They will be able to provide you with the most appropriate information based upon guidance obtained from research.

Best wishes,
