    Hello, I was diagnosed in with MDS in June 2017. My oncologist tells me it doesn’t matter much what I eat, but I don’t believe this. Don’t know that I can cure myself through diet, but I believe I can certainly make things worse. I have been trying to follow a vegetable based whole foods diet, avoiding highly processed foods (flour, sugar, etc.) Not sure how well this is working. I eat a lot of beans, greens, and fruit when I can get it. I just started reading “The Metabolic Approach to Cancer” by Winters and Kelley. Only a chapter or so into it so no conclusion yet. If someone is familiar with the book or the premise (cancer cells metabolize glucose rather than oxygen and fail to self destruct like regular cells, therefore follow low-glycemic, fasting, and ketogenic diets) If anyone is familiar with this or other diet approach, I’m all ears.
