Some of you will have noticec a rather erratic posting pattern from me recently, with some unexplained absences whereas previously I would
post almost evey single day.
The reason is that in my life outside C programming I have been
diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the illness is now in a phase
where hospital stays and such absences are inevitable. However I
expect to post for a few more months, and then, of course, probably
the last post will be made without me being aware that this is to be
the last.
And I've just had to say that I can no longer write software for
money. Whether I can write software without the pressures of it being
a formal job or not, I don't know. And whilst C has aways been a very important of my adult life, for obvius reasons my religious interests
are now taking priority.

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,
e.g.:

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
My diabetes is farly mild and I had it before I was diagnosed with the cancer. But I was told to avoid too much sugar. But when I developed the cancer, I was told that it was interacting with the chemotherapy and
making me very tired, and that more efforts needed to be taken to get on
top of it.
Whilst previousy I tended to over eat, I now have the opposite problem.I
just don't feel like high fat, high protein foods. I want food which is
easy to digest. But that is mainly the sugary food I'm supposed to avoid
on account of the diabetes. So yoghurt is about the only thing which is practical, I feel like eating, and I'm allowed. However it can't be the
ony suitable food in existence.
I got blood sugars monitored whilst in hopsital. I was in for about
three weeks, which explains the long gap in posting.

I am sorry to hear that,
i think cancer is about retrovirus and proteins
so the problem for me are too much proteins
it would be good if some diet exist against cancer

I don't post here much, but you helped me out a few times in the past.

Rosario19:

If one exists, then all the contradictory sources
unanymously agree that such a diet excludes fast carbs. They
are not good even for healthy people and a strict
elimination of them helps with many health issues, including
a possible reversal of type II diabetes by restoring insulin
sensitivity. Do look into low-carb, slow-carb diets.
If you must eat fast carbs, make sure to do it after you
have a good dose of fiber. It greatly helps in blunting the
sugar peak.

It looks like your 5-year survival rate is as high as 70% (plus
extra points for good behavior). So you have some code left in you!
situation. But the oncologist was a bit vague on the prognoisis. But I
can't as easily type now, for example. It might be more months than I
expect, however.
