Morning Rentawitch (love the s/n)
No I didn't mention it to the hospital staff. As I said earlier I wasn't Paleo for a 1.5 year out of treatment. What I can tell you is this. My MO (medical oncologist) said "don't be going on a crazy diet"....this after not saying a word about my trying vegetarian, vegan, calorie reduction, no exercise plans. My Surgeon didn't even blink, nor comment. My PCP was all for it, said "this is the way we were meant to eat". I was also seeing a GI specialist because I'd developed ulcerative colitis after chemo & rads. Within a month of going Paleo he said the following "whatever you're doing, keep doing it". My ulcerative colitis hasn't shown it's ugly face since I switched up to Paleo (4 years now)....remission? cured? No clue, but it works for me. I find the reaction from the medical community mixed. For the most part I find they make a helluva lot of assumption without actually knowing the facts....like we're all eating sides of bbq beef for breakfast. A friend of mine has an oncologist that is Paleo....so hopefully viewpoints are changing. End of the day, my bloodwork has been termed 'perfect' now, tummy is great, energy huge and muscle mass increased, which is the proof in the pudding for me.
