Checking to see if there were any other bc ladies who followed keto throughout their rads?

    I am wondering the same thing. I have also read about intermittent fasting to help with rads

    I found some info from a radiation oncologist in Pittsburgh who has a blog/log and talks about a ketogenic diet during cancer treatments. Some interesting info.

    I've been looking into this as well. Actually my friends started this diet months before I was diagnosed and had been trying to get me to try it. I've been doing a lot more reading about it and of course picking her brain because she's been on it for a few months. She actually found some information from a RO online who recommends the Keto Diet while his patients are going through radiation. His name is Colin Champ, MD.

    Look for this on youtube
