Does A Plant-based Diet cure Cancer?

I've joined The Club
Hi all, I've been all over the internet looking for advice on PCa and just found this site. There is some great information here and I look forward to joining in conversations. A quick update on why I am here: - Dec 2014 (age 52 years). My lovely wife has for many years suspected I had coeliac disease

So-called 'Palliative Care' is not all it's cracked up to be.
Morphine, Fentanyl, Ordine, Endone, and Panadol had absolutely no effect in reducing the pain of a tooth extraction which had me in a hospital bed for a week. The morphine dosages were usually 10mg, but on a couple of occasions it was 20mg ~ with zero effect. I have a few months to live as I have leukaemia

Bacterial Meningitis

for 2 weeks and then another week on a general ward. Apparently I made a 'dramatic' recovery (according to my notes). I am 66 and generally an active fit person. I did really well just pretending/assuming - not sure which - that all was well.

Getting and Keeping CHC
I am currently reading the superb article on CHC which SueBatt placed in a post. http://www.landmarkchambers.co.uk/userfiles/documents/resources/NHS%20Continuing%20Care%20and%20NHS%20Funded%20Nursing%20Care.pdf One of the things that stands out for me is that a key criterion for qualifying for CHC is

6 weeks after radiation my PSA is still rising
I finished 33 sessions of IMRT on 3 lymph nodes (the only 3 places where the new PET scan specific for prostate cancer revealed cancer) 6 weeks ago but my PSA is still rising. Radiation oncologist said he was disappointed that my PSA didn't stay the same or go down after that amount of time but that

Hi everyone. So Paul was in hospital for a week from last Tuesday until yesterday. This was because his pain medication was changed from MST to Methadone. The first couple of days were difficult, but now he is much better and this chronic abdominal pain - which is not cancer-related - is much better.
