My problem is that I react quite violently to even very small amounts
of gluten or dairy (except butter)

Actually, fruit and most salad ingredients would not be compatible with 
a ketogenic diet.

I do. I want fewer fats and more carbs. In the winter that reverses.

Well, the diet won't kill the tumour. It only slows growth to the point
where the immune system may (or may not) be able to keep up. In the
human and animal cases I've read about the growth was slowed in some, 
stopped in others, and complete remission occurred in others. The remissions
may have been the immune system's work, but if so, why did the immune system
fail to catch and destroy the cancer cells before they had developed into a
tumour?
