Can any one suggest lchf diet plan for dinner. I'm from South India .

B became comatose and slept for three days.I rang our Hospice Community nurse and she recommended a full palliative care assessment. B. is now in a palliative care unit at the hospital. Could his sleepiness be due to previous lack of food and medication or PSP?

Some 3 months ago, when I had a debilitating viral fever, my health check up showed pre-diabetes. Doc asked me to start metformin, but in addition I continued with LCHF diet , though not strictly. Then I went for another check-up 2 days ago and the lab tests showed the following results (Sept. figures

Am I the only one under palliative care here? I think I'm going to go mad. It's on my mind since yesterday when I met with the team. Why do they want me to go see Milford , ( hospice ) Not sleeping again my mind is racing.

After 18 months with two rounds of chemo treatment and letrosol Given a time frame of 6/12months and handed over to palliative care team. Went for second opinion and this is what she has suggested, Goserelin injections. Anyone else had these??

What is Low-Carb Hİgh Fat diet ? Can you explain to me ? I have no idea about it. :)

Are they compatible? I am not planning using the drinks for sports or body-building but simply as a convenient source of protein while trying to get into a fuller LCHF diet. Except eggs, fish and occasionally bacon I am averse to other non-veg stuff, including chicken.

After 1 week in the hospital they moved him to palliative care for another week because there is nothing left to try. They r giving him days or weeks and this was August 17. He is now at home with hospice, where r going into the 4th week of being home.

We were promised hospice care for dad, whilst mum recovered, but that fell through because palliative care didn't think he was due to die imminently (have really pushed for hospice and at the consultant, but this didn't work).

They are not doing anything on his lung until his performance status has improved...but if he can get up to a 0 or 1, they will offer Keytruda as a first line treatment...if not up to that in six weeks, standard chemo as palliative care.
