I’m doing well, thank you. Six months since I finished RT and no major side-effects.

Best wishes,

Chris

Couldn't agree more Gilly - fasting is best when it's a happy time between you, your body and God. Not some legalistic religious duty. With you and your oh in thanksgiving for the 10 years...and believing for the way through for him to be cancer-free - David and Jill

No I didn't - have you found it beneficial? Looking back on the past 27 months, the diet aspect of facing the diagnosis has been on a downward curve, though it is still significant. My first reaction - 3 day fasting and following the CareAcross diet and fitness programme - was mostly a way of "drawing a line". I'm still following the broad lines of CareAcross, because I want to, and because I feel good on them, but I don't submit my data very often. They were very helpful dealing with the shock in the early days, but I'm much more settled, bodily and spiritually now. I can sense much more "what my body is saying"...and go with that. In fitness, diet and in fasting..

The relation between diet and the spiritual side is so important, I believe. My PSA is steady on 1.8, after coming off Prostap 18 months ago, and part of it staying that way depends on my staying in faith. I don't have faith that (like pre-diagnosis) I can eat or drink whatever I like with no ill effects - so "no red meat, not much dairy and taking turmeric/flaxseed/Vitamin D" - are part of me staying in faith for the moment.

But please, Bembry, if you've had good experiences with keto, I'd be glad to hear of them.

Stay positive - test negative - David

Unlike fake reviews on the Internet, no doctor can fake a good attitude from patients and colleagues. It is not a fact that you will be able to notice this during the first consultation, but if you have ever witnessed how other patients say “thank you” to your doctor, and other doctors are happy to discuss professional matters with him, you are probably in good hands.
