Immediately after diagnosis, it was nearly impossible to keep any food down, so the diet consisted of whatever was tolerable for nearly a year. After that, it returned to something close to what it had been prior to diagnosis. Over the next four years, we have changed to a healthier diet with fewer processed foods and more natural foods. The change was not so much because of the cancer, but more for weight control and general well-being.
