Question
I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme this past February, 2011. I was told it was a Stage IV, fast growing cancer.  I underwent 6 weeks of radiation and 42 days, simultaneously, of chemo, Temodar.  I had 4 weeks off with no treatment then an MRI which showed no tumor regrowth.  I live in a Cleveland suburb so receive my care at the Cleveland Clinic.  The standard of care at the CC is then to do 12 months of Temodar which is where I am at now.  I made it through may, june and July and am supposed to start my 4th month tomorrow.  It has not been easy as the dose of the temodar is 2x what I took the first 42 days.  I heard about you through my dental hygenist who has a patient that sees you regularly.  I got in touch with her and she has a remarkable story.  She seems to be cancer free now when she originally was told she would not live beyond 6 months.  She has ovarian cancer.  She told me it's all about what we are eating.  I am 50 years old, I don't smoke, never did, in impecable health.  Always took good care of myself as my dad died of heart attack at age of 51.  I thought if anything, that might happen to me so I started running and taking care of myself at a young age.  But I do not take any supplements.  I eat what I think is a healthy diet, but  you would probably disagree.  Can you please help me by explaining what I should be doing.  I would like to come to your office as well.  I'm a fighter and don't want to die.   I have too much to live for.

Thank you for your time.
