Hi @Poek78,
We are all different so I guess knowing your body and how it responds to various foods is important. I wasn't given advice initially by my oncologist or breast care nurse when I had active treatment in 2020. I believe there are new recommendations for those having chemo these days around certain foods to avoid while having chemotherapy but if you have that type of treatment it would be best to check with the nurses on that.
I was recommended a juice during chemo to help with the liver processing all those drugs. It was apple, celery , carrot, beetroot and ginger. I still have this juice most days.
Cutting alcohol down is a good thing. I still drink but no where near as much as I use to. I always had a good diet but I am a bit stricter since my diagnosis. I largely eat fresh vegetables, fruit and protein. Lean meat and plenty of fish and no processes food. When I go shopping I really don't buy much out of those supermarkets isles.
I am gluten and wheat sensitive so that keeps me away from bread, pasta, cakes etc. Some people consider the keto way of eating and I suppose that's largely how I eat but check if you want to do anything like that with your dr. For me that lifestyle resolved inflammation in my body and stopped side effects from my AI's (for hormone positive treatment). My oncologist said to me she never really believed in those types of diets helping however she has changed her mind after seeing so much success from patients.
Best wishes with your surgery and treatment.
