TOWARDS RECOVERY

Understanding your type of cancer and the side effects will help you deal with your illness head on. Consult organisations like PLWC and resources like the ones offered by the Queensland Cancer Council, as well as your doctor and/or a dietitian. The WCFR and AICR’s comprehensive Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective details the different types of cancers and gives nutritional advice for each. It is a very good resource to work through if you want to understand how nutrition plays a role in your specific type of cancer.

The New South Wales Cancer Council also offers detailed advice on what to eat for the various types of cancers. For people dealing with brain cancer, for example, they suggest having daily at least two servings of fruit, five servings of vegetables, four to five servings of bread, cereals, rice and pasta, two to four servings of milk and dairy foods, one to two servings of meat and alternatives, one tablespoon of fats and oils, and six to eight glasses of fluid.66 And while the Internet is not the best resource for finding accurate information, it can be a vast support group of sorts.

Once you are as well informed as possible, you can begin adopting the habits and eating patterns that could ease you in treatment and see you into recovery.

A word of caution though: examining health and the role it can play in cancer is not intended to provoke you into questioning your diet, emotions and habits leading up to your diagnosis. Leave the past in the past, and instead use the information to aid treatment and recovery.

Adopting healthy behaviours will lead to an overall improvement in quality of life whether you are undergoing treatment for cancer, are recovering from cancer or have never been diagnosed with cancer. Having this knowledge by your side will empower you to positively and actively achieve good health.
