Why do you say that? Or is colon cancer less reactive to ketosis?
I think it had began in the colon, alhough last year (or two years ago) he
had had a colonscopy which was clean. They are saying it's an aggressive
form of cancer. It has metastacized and is on his lungs and probably
elsewhere. His sister (who is caring for him) said that the cancer has
enveloped his lung in a thin layer and is constricting breathing to a
degree. This is horrifying weird stuff. He is constantly bloating with fluid
which contains body fluid and cancerous cells and needs to be drained every
couple of days. He is currently not in pain but is very uncomfortable. He is
sometimes at home and is trying to eat better, taking vitamins etc. I think
if I were in his condition I would jump off a bridge.
Thanks for your thoughts, Adrienne.
