Diagnosis came in Thurs eve. Told the family. Find that it is a very hard short little statement to repeat. "I have cancer". I have a mass in the left side parotid gland which is one of the saliva glands. Biopsy shows it malignant. Suppose to have surgery next week. Then radiation to follow that and chemo if required after that. I've been modifying my diet to lose weight ...now I'm changing that to fight these awful little cells causing this problem. What I've read so far is that eating to make your body as alkaline as possible helps. There was one place too that said being in ketosis can help ...but it looks like the foods to eat for each are in contradiction so....still studying. I figure the doctors have their job to do -- but I'm not going to just sit in the boat - I can row too.
