A Cancer Survivor's Diet for health and preventing recurrence 

I’m glad to see a cancer survivor cooking healthy meals that are doable on a daily basis. Upon reading up on what to eat as a cancer pt or survivor, I see so many people saying that once you have cancer or have had it you need to make drastic changes such as avoiding sugar and carbs altogether cuz it feeds cancer. Then some say eat keto diet but that includes lots of meat which I have also read has carcinogens. Then there are the extreme people that urge you to fast for 40 days to starve cancer cells till they are good and dead. Then there are the ones that swear by the 100% plant based diet. There’s like no way to get around carbs and sugar for me. I can’t be happy on an only plant based diet and though I have cut down on meat significantly, I still like my burger or a taco from time to time. Being Latina makes giving up tortillas practically impossible. We eat them with almost everything lol. I have opted to do what you do. Eat in moderation those things we crave but aren’t as good for us. And stick in there as many healthy, cancer fighting foods as we can. I’m glad to see you don’t go extreme in any direction. It makes sense and the food looks yummy. Also does the plant based protein powder taste good? I bought one but it tastes so bad I couldn’t have it twice 😢

Hey Marina! Ooops! I’m commenting from my business channel…but my name is Renee and I too am going through a breast cancer journey. Was diagnosed on June 13th 2023 with Stage I Intraductal Carcinoma. I am finished with Chemo and no cancer was found during my last ultrasound. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I am scheduled for a lumpectomy THIS morning so fingers crossed 🤞🏾that all goes well. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us with such courage and grace. Your strength gives me strength. #KeepShining #KeepFighting #KeepSharing 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕🌸

Absolutly brilliant thankyou so much

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you’re doing better. I would include onions, peppers tomatoes and string beans. Not a fan at all of kale. Something about the taste that says no way.. Lord bless you.

Hi Marina - great healthy choice ideas, love it! I am an endometrial cancer survivor and since cancer treatment ended, I definitely work to eat loads of fruits and veggies and avoid ultra processed food for sure. But when I was receiving pelvic radiation treatment, I was told to avoid fruits and vegetables and any foods with fiber as the treatment caused diarrhea and these foods would make it worse. I was absolutely miserable. Not sure what could have been done, but I'm so glad that is over!

Greetings Marina. I'm a cancer survivor. Thank God. I need some help eating right. It's hard for me. I right back at the bad foods, mot good!!!

You have such a beautiful family, you're so blessed ❤. Thank you for sharing your journey.💕

Thanks again Marina for a wonderful helpful video. God bless you and your family.❤

Thank you. This video is a refreshing answer to the questions i had asked on one of your previous videos.

I’ve had a lumpectomy and the removal of all of my right lymph nodes. I was diagnosed with third stage breast cancer, grade 3. Sadly I’ve recently found out that I carry a genetic mutation the PAL B2 . Now it’s recommended for me to have a double mastectomy to reduce my chances by quite a lot of the cancer returning. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy, so before I gave the radiation treatment I’ll talk to my surgeon about the mastectomy. I absolutely hate frozen or processed foods. I lived in Greece for thirty years and ate extremely well and healthy. The cancer diagnosis shocked me but then again it’s not all about what we eat, it’s also about how much trauma we go through and let it happen. Do my journey will hopefully waken me to stop being a door mat.

So helpful! I went to a nutritionist recently.. stocking up on cruciferous veggies

I am doing a clean keto, but choosing healthy vegetable fats like avocado and nuts over animal fat. You and I use a lot of the same products!

Shirley here, I eat steamed vegtables and fresh fruit that high in anti oxidants. But a lot of the food you show or make people won't eat. I know so many people just eat regular food and are in good health and haven't had cancer in their 50's 60' and 70's .I guess if u have had cancer it does scare u to eat healthier.

Hi I had triple Negative breast cancer 7 months ago was declared cancer free. Last week had a biopsy done due to finding a lump on chest wall near mastectomy area. What different can I do with this reoccurrence? Thank you

This is very very different than what I am understanding and being told…NO processed food…No dairy….plant based low low fat……and low oils ( liquid fat ) eat olives, blend olives and make a dressing. Oh well. I feel best eating this way as well.

Can you make a list of some of the foods that you showed in this video Including the waffle, protein powder sausage links and anything else would be very helpful

I am nearing the end of chemo. I have been having a hard time during my journey avoiding sugar/added sugar. Any advice on sugar? I can’t seem totally and completely avoid it. Is red meat an absolute no no?

Benifits of alkaline water?

Mam pTNM staging -pT2N1aMx what stage it is?

Shirley again, I seen that that jenny apple was vegan and still got cancer. Isn't vegan as healthy as what you eat? I know ow there is no type of animal fat in vegan. What is the difference with your diet or vegan to keep us healthy?
