Eliminate refined sugar and white flours from your diet. I recently read Anticancer and the author talks alot about the connection between blood sugar levels and body inflammation. As an overt example, he uses acne and that it's mostly an issue in the developed world (where we eat refined sugars and flours that spike you blood sugar level). He cites a study (pdf) of a few island cultures who eat a very natural diet and have zero cases of acne. Another study showed improvement with Australian teenagers following a low glycemic load diet.

Hi. I totally sympathize with what you and your gf are going through. I think you are getting great advice and support here in the comments. I just wanted to add to it and say that I've been reading a book that's been a real eye-opener about how we can help ourselves understand the mechanics of cancer a little bit better, and how we can help ourselves stay healthy. It's called Anticancer: A New Way of Life, by David Servan-Schreiber.

Now it's not one of those "cure yourself with carrots, doctors don't know anything," things, at all, but the book does offer a lot of common sense about what role our diet, stress, and other factors play in our lives. Though the author did eventually die of cancer, he had survived 19 years past his initial diagnosis, and so I think that still makes it a very worthwhile read. I know it's made me feel stronger to read it and try to implement its advice, so I thought it may help you, too.

Best of luck to you and your gf!

Doubt and uncertainty are a terrible thing and I can't help at all but cancer has a 1 and 3 chance of effecting me so I have been researching what I would do if I got cancer and to be prepaired just incase I cross paths with it.

I think that was about his age, too. I don't think they use that pesticide anymore. If you're interested, this is the book where he talks about it.

It's a fantastic book by the way. I highly recommend it. Just now, looking at the ratings, it's solid 5 stars with 788 reviews.

My stepdad recently had two bouts with cancer - one tumor on his nasal nerve and the other on the brain lining. Not a very fun experience I can imagine.

Anyway, my mom did a lot of research into cancer and how to treat and prevent it and found a great book by written by a physician/neuroscientist who had two malignant brain tumors himself. Essentially, he wanted to find a way to improve his odds of beating the cancer and improve his quality of life (diagnosed at age 31, survived until age 50 if that tells you anything).

(You may want to look into the audiobook, since there is a lot of content which can become very dry)

Essentially, he explains the relationship between inflammation and disease, particularly in relation to the food we eat (and sometimes the food our food eats). He does this without new-age quackery and backs it up with a lot of science.

I really hope this helps. My family has dealt with a lot of cancer, and it's a rough disease for everyone involved.

It seems there is a consensus that cruciferous vegetables are the thing, and cooked tomatoes (liberate lycopene when cooked). Also, curcumine (with pepper or ginger to make it more powerful). It is an anti-inflammatory and that helps fight cancer. And green tea.

This lady must eat correctly. Hope you can persuade her, and that it is not because of money.

I read this book and found it fantastic.

Might want to check this book out. Dude who wrote it had a type of brain cancer that usually kills within a year, maybe two. He lasted from 1992 to just a few weeks ago by doing what he describes in his book.
