      1. Hi, In regards to high protein, you should ask your doctor to refer you to a Dietician. A registered Dietician will be able to come up with a fitting diet based on your medical condition. When you get a chance here is an article about balancing a healthy diet, that you may find helpful. Wishing you the very best!

        1. Thank you all!!!!! I will see my oncologist in a couple weeks and ask him for a registered dietician. In the meantime, I have set a tentative stop smoking date! October 22nd. Wish me luck, this time will be hardest, I fear.
