I am very sorry to hear this, Malcolm.  In additition to the
prescribed treatment, do consider a change of diet, as a
low-carb diet with strictly no fast carbs may signifincantly
inhibit the progress of cancer, by depriving it of metabolic
fuel.  This may a be a keto diet, or even a carnivore diet,

Diet is a problem. I'm finding food hard to tolerate and so of course
want to go for simple carbs, which are more digestible. But I've also
got diabetes, and that makes the fatigue and so on from the cancer and
therapy at lot worse, and so I've been told to keep on top of it. And
that leaves me with very little to eat at all. Yougurt is a favorite.
And I like milk with cereal. And I just bought a slow cooker to do soft
vegetables. Before this happened I used to eat out every single day, and
now I just can't face a beer, let alone a restaurant meal.

Good to see you again Malcolm,

I hope you have a CGM, continuous glucose monitor, it has helped me
immensely to eat moderately and very often to manage the symptoms of
diabetes.  It took me a while to eat sensibly.

A also know many people with cancer treatments and wouldn't wish either
disease on anyone.

No matter who we are we eventually have troubles and turn to support groups
to find better ways to cope with life.

Wishing you all the best,

David
