Welcome to the Chemo Café - Part 2

Let food be thy Medicine

Welcome to Episode 4 of Living with the Big Purple C - Let food be thy Medicine. Following on the previous episode, Dawn talks further about her relationship with food and the changes she has made. She answers questions about her preferred foods, and includes a sample look at her daily diet plan that has helped her live with and manage Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer in the best way possible. Her hope is the information she shares may help others on this cancer journey - or those dealing with chronic disease, or even those just curious about food as medicine - make even the smallest change to improve quantity as well as quality of life. This is not medical advice and any changes to diet if you are in treatment should be discussed with your doctor first. If you have any additional questions, comments, or feedback for Dawn, she'd love to hear from you on email at thebigpurplec@gmail.com
