KKM

Hi KKM--I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I'm new to the stage IV colorectal cancer as well, my husband is also 57 years old and newly diagnosed about a month ago, he has mets to both lungs and lymph node involvement. I don't know a lot yet except to say that there IS HOPE! I'm discovering every day that there are long term survivors of this type of cancer. The future may be uncertain and it may be scary but definitely stay positive and continue to reach out to others. That's what I intend to do. I hope this helps a little!

I've been doing this for 16 months now since D-Day.

Start out with apple cider vinegar / stevia......5,000 mg if vitamin C Powder and a small bit of glutamine powder.

Then I have a cup of black coffee and a bunch of walnuts.

Then I have about an our later a large scoop of Garden Of Life Super Food Powdered Green drink.....large Tablespoon of whey protein powder and a t spoon of psyllium powder.

half our later a nice slice of Manna Bread ( Nuts and Raisin Kind ) and a LOT of pumpkin seeds and 2 small packs of raisins.

about 2 hours later I have lunch.....Bunch of Pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, a banana, Black raspberries and small pack of raisins all mixed up with a lot of stevia to make it sweet and sunflower seeds mixed in a large bowl along with raw cashews. At about 3 pm I have another cup of black coffee and 10 small whole grain onion crackers.

T 5:00 pm I have about 20 garbanzo beans and a bunch of small carrots and a dill pickle.....at 6 pm I eat different organic bean/veggie/tomato soups.....health food store or supermarket. I can't afford everything organic so I do the best I can....with the soup I have more of those crackers, tomatoes, colored sweet peppers, cucumbers....I add onion and canned peas to the soup. I also eat sour XXX.....At 8:30 I eat another banana with raw cashews and delicious sweet pecans.....On Saturday Night I go out with my wife to the Restaurant and have salmon and a sweet potato and broccoli and large salad or salad bar if they have......that's it......Hope it helps...I also take about 6 anti cancer supplements and others and PRAY a Lot.....

Hi KKM, Thank you for following me! BTW- I don’t always know where I’m going but I believe that we can beat this beast and that a stage IV diagnosis is not the end of the world, yes it is a big fight but there is always hope and I have known too many long term survivors personally to have a pessimistic viewpoint. Besides that, I’m actually feeling good and enjoying my life even though I’ve been in treatment for over 4 years. And I hope that you and your husband do as well! Hugs!!!

Great to have you as a Follower.....Hope I don't make you crazy? lol Good Luck and you can check out my profile and journey if you want to check me out. Barry
