Hi,

I have posted here previously and appreciate all of the replies and good wishes. My wife (active, with-it 81) has Large B Cell NHL that started as follicular NHL. She has received R-Chop (6 courses) with no benefit (refractory) and is now on Monjuvi + Revlimid (6 months, 2 pet scans (March and June). There has been modest improvement in that a number of smaller nodes have gone but 1 large node in her abdomen has increased in size and "heat". Her oncologist thinks that she is no longer responding to this treatment and needs to try something else. If anyone has encountered this predicament, we will appreciate what you tried and of course the success of that treatment. We're obviously getting really concerned in that the efficacy of the treatments or her ability to respond in a positive way seems to be more and more limited as options seem few. Thank You and Please help.

I am so sorry to here about your wife's battle with lymphoma. Please read the following article and medical journal studies about good results with water only fasting and whole food plant based diets and lymphoma. I was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in June 2015 and had RCHOP and stem cell transplant. Since mantle cell does not have a great prognosis I have been eating a whole food plant based diet for almost 4 years now and the lymphoma is still in remission. I have not tried the water only fasting but I have read good things about the TrueNorth Health Foundation and I am a big believer in eating a diet of whole foods plant base. I pray that this may help your wife.God bless you both! healthpromoting.com/conditi...
