I have yet to see any doctor who has ever dismissed that idea. š
It is comical how much US doctors will dismiss the idea that diet has any impact on heath or disease
Discussion
My wifeās oncologists (2 of them) did not make any dietary recommendations
First, Iām sorry she (and you) have had to deal with cancer cause cancer is horrific.
In my own experience of being treated for cancer there was a team of doctors & each has their speciality. I donāt expect a specialist to speak with me about diet when they are specialized to treat cancer. That is the job of the āfamily doctorā or physician in my mind.
Are you from another country where healthcare has a more holistic approach? Believe me, I agree that the US healthcare has issues. š
Yes, our primary doc is great about that. I guess I just thought that a cancer doctor would make diet recommendations that might help the body fight cancer.
Thatās fair. Just because we (and others Iāve known) have had the same experience it doesnāt mean itās the best treatment.
I know others have tried various ways to heal as Iām sure you do as well. Maybe in the future with enough of us āsurvivorsā telling our stories things might change. Cancer sucks & takes so much from us I know itās always hard to speak about it for myself.
Thanks for speaking on it, youāve made me reconsider it more & how patients are treated. I may go back into patient advocacy again. ššš
