Hi folks,
Breast cancer gal here and will be starting chemo eaear May. Drugs tbc this week his been told 6 X infusions every 3 weeks, start hormone therapy during cheno too.
Been reading a lot about fastibg - 48 hrs before chemo and 24 hrs after and how this can help alleviate side effects and help body protect itself from killing all the good stuff than bad ( awful scientific analogy but you get my drift). Big believer in time restricted eating but this was to control my weight whereas this is s whole new world. It must help with potential overeating or csca beige food munchies too. I'm terrified when I read about ladies gaining 3 stone on chemo from eating like mad on steroids and " what they fancy" not only on appearance but from a body fuel build from inside out this can't be good. Fasting may help this as well as orotect cells.
Will of course ask my onco as there seems to be more research done in the last few years than just on mice as in earluer posts .generally the view from health professionals try it as it won't hurt but wobderiww if anyone else tried this.
Thanks in advance,
Mumai
