I am female, 35, and I have been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer that was also in 21 of 29 lymph nodes removed from the sigmoid region of my colon. My question is what are some dietary requirements or suggestions? I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and lean meats. I don't smoke or drink heavily and I am active. I have led a fairly healthy lifestyle and I don't see where I can improve my lifestyle really any better than what I am currently doing so any suggestions would be helpful.

It sounds like you have an understanding of the elements of a healthy diet. There is nothing specific that you should concentrate on in terms of food that you're not already doing. Be sure that you drink plenty of water as well, as this is important to every body function.

Look up "Terry Naturally" Curamin... if I had colon cancer I would take at least thee a day. I'm sure they would be happy to talk with you - the man who developed this formula is very humble. They had a web site. My best to you....
