I practice a Macrobiotic diet and have NED on last scan after being diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc. I take targeted therapy daily (TKI).
I eat mostly cooked food (85%). Do you think I should eat more uncooked raw food and if so how much? I steam, pan sauté, or boil most of my vegetables I eat daily. I want to get the most nutrition possible.

Question :
Hello Dr Neal,
1. I Have 2/3 of stomach removed 3 months ago, very weak, can’t eat more than 1/4 cup of soup or fluid at a time, get up every 2 hours dying of hunger but no appetite at all. No chemo available in the part of the world where I live and can’t afford going outside the country as my Dr recommended. So, I can’t get any treatement. I am also diabetic (type 2) but I don’t take my meds anymore because I vomit and get into more trouble. Please tell me the healthiest foods I can fit in the 1/4 cup to sustain me without raising my blood sugar and have some more time to live with less suffering! Thank you so much.

Hello,
My brother has paranasal sinus cancer. He had one session of chemo already and currently undergoing radiation therapy. He was recommended to have it for 35 days. He is only on his 6th session. He is taking supplements, hemostan (for bleeding – he was bleeding quite a bit before radiation, somehow stable now but still taking it to prevent future bleed), cough medicine, and sometimes meds for nausea. My question is: can he take thc oil at the same time? He has difficulty eating and mostly only smoothies but his tastebuds was greatly affected by the radiation. I want to help him gain appetite. Please help!

I was diagnosed with zIDC 100% HER-2 stage 1 breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy. Also lymph nodes clear. I opted not to do recommended chemotherapy, radiation, and aromatase treatments. Because it was 100% estrogen positive, what can I be doing to keep it from returning due to the HER-2 component?
