Anti-cancer Diet

Someone needs to have their ears trimmed.

While Dr. Hamilton asked me to hold off on supplements for a month, he made no limitations on the food I feed Burke.  "Chicken, liver, tuna, whatever he enjoys." So I have been surfing the internet looking for diets that help to fight cancer, or at least do not promote cancer.  One diet I found encourages protein (chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc.,), certain fats, complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal or brown rice, vegetables, and calcium.  It's called the Dog Cancer Diet. (I am gently simmering chicken and steel cut oats as I type this blog.)

We will gradually make the transition to this diet over the next week.  I am sure Burke will enjoy this new "dog" food. With the exception of the krill and fish oil, I already regularly add these treats to his meals. 

It has been raining (again) all day.  Burke played with us a bit and sat outside with me while I spoke on the phone to my daughter. Other than that, he has been mostly sleeping -- it is a good day for sleeping.  

I stopped the anti-nausea medication because Burke shows no signs of nausea.   We are still on the prednisone and on Monday we go back to Malvern for a chemo and antibody treatment. I can still feel Burke's enlarged lymph node, but, to me it seems smaller.  I hope Dr. Hamilton agrees.
