It might be worth your time to look at the mitochondrial theory of cancer: https://hackertalks.com/post/23421392

Happy to supply books, papers, and talk in depth with you on the details.

Tldr: cancer cells only burn glucose, using a very low carb diet as a adjunct to standard of care is a strict positive in treatment.

Genuinely I'm hoping you recover fully!

    Diabetic so strict glucose control is already a thing.

    This cancer was solved for surgically, we just don't know yet if they got it all. 5-7 days on that!

    The sigmoid colon is gone, only question is if it snuck into the lymph system before they got it.

    That becomes stage 3 with chemo. And it's hanging over my head for 5-7 days (more like 2-5 days now.)

    Since your waiting on the follow-up it might still be helpful to learn about the mitochondrial model of cancer.

    It doesn't hurt to go zero/very low carb while waiting for your results, then there isn't extra glucose to feed any stray cancer cells floating around.
