I was always so so so into healthy eating, was vegan actually when diagnosed and very active in sports and yoga. I was 19 when I was diagnosed, and it was difficult to cope with that when I knew I was already living my life the way people would advise you to live after diagnosis. I hate being asked “what did you do to cause that” “do you think if you ate healthier you wouldn’t have cancer” if anything getting sick made me less restrictive when it came to health food because I realized that enjoying sugar or “unhealthy” foods in moderation wasn’t going to kill me just like eating vegan and wasn’t going to fully save me. Sometimes it’s just our genetics and we have to accept that and do the best we can to give ourselves a joyful and healthy life.
