ReplyI am newly diagnosed MM. Please send me MM CC nutrition guide. Thank you.
ReplyHi, David
Do you have any suggestions on how to stop losing weight when u deriving the revlimid+dexa+Dara protocol for the first MM relapse, please? Only increasing the calorie intake doesn’t seem to help, unfortunately.
Thank you,
Lucia
Hi Lucia-
Weight loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy. Consider reducing the dosing of each regimen, consider increasing your protein intake as gaining weight is not only about calories and finally consider omega-3 fatty acids- see the study below-
I consider smoothies a great way of creating a tasty drink that is high in calories, proteins, and nutrition-
Hang in there,

ReplyDiagnosed in May 2022 with High-Risk MM I’m now 57. I reached remission after Radiation, targeted Chem and SCT. I’m on a 3 drug treatment for 6 months and the Dexamethasone has caused me to gain 15 Lbs! Its driving me crazy. Can i get a copy of the healthy eating plan please.
Thank you!
Hi Terra-
I sent you the MM CC nutrition guide.
Hang in there,

ReplyHi David,
It’s so confusing trying to separate the wheat from the gluten free LOL. Can you send me the MM CC nutrition guides? I would greatly appreciate it!
ReplyDiagnosed 3 of 2022. SCT October 22. In complete response/remission. It’s only been a few months for me but I am diligently changing my way of eat so it will be a lifestyle change. It’s going pretty good but any suggestions or some of your favorites would help.

ReplyThank you for sharing this! I am currently awaiting diagnosis, but it’s either smoldering MM or MM. I am grateful to have found your site with all the nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. Will be working on integrating them into my diet and lifestyle. I had been working toward adopting the Budwig diet, but found it very limiting (and a lot of work to keep up with). I am glad to know I that I don’t have to go whole hog on that one!

ReplyI am a new member of the club of cancer survivors having just completed a major routine of Radiation therapy at an equivalent cost of $30,000 for tumour at stage 4 prostate cancer. There is little expectation to revert to that level of treatment in the event that a new condition develops requiring intervention for financial reasons and remoteness of my residence location. So far the prognosis is good and I have no intention of venturing into another search for support even if need arose given a wide extended family setting out of which others needy as I may have been should be afforded that chance. My recent PSA reading is at 0.2 down from around 18 .
I therefore wish to welcome from whomsoever has it , the information and advice on diet. I am aware from diet plan(s) by the consultants what foods are “dont’s” but on a daily basis I have come to realize that I must do some cooking by myself and that gives room for compromises. There is the prospect of hiring a keeper (nurse) to do some of the chores . But I would be happy to hear how others are managing that stage.

ReplyHi Anderson,
I am sorry to read of your stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis but happy to read that your PSA currently is 0.2. Several things. Though you did not ask about possible side effects, my experience is that there is a good chance you will develop long-term and/or late stage side effects from your radiation therapy.
Please consider hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal this damage. I disagree with the stats mentioned in the study but its your call. Ask your MD to prescribe the HBOT therapy in order for your health insurance to pay for the treatments.
Secondly, the nutrition cited to reduce the risk of prostate cancer relapse- based on your post, you seem to have several food challenges- who prepares what, etc. The post below offers info about several diets and their interaction with prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer and nutrition-
Keep in mind also that there are a host of nutritional supplements (green tea extract, resveratrol, curcumin, others) shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. I take several of these supplements daily.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Reply[…] Please consider changing your diet to a flexble, clean diet. […]
Reply[…] The first step is to develop a long-term cancer survivor’s diet. I don’t recommend a “diet.” I recommend a lifestyle change regarding what you eat and why. And after all, I have been living with an incurable cancer since 1994. This nutritional lifestyle change is pretty easy, step by step. […]
ReplyPlease send me more information on how you beat Mutiple Myeloma – nutrition, supplements, etc. I am in remission from MM and would appreciate any info you can provide. Do you have a book on your nuteitional supplememts?
Thank you,
May Lucas
ReplyHi Mary-
Several things. First of all, I don’t consider myself to be cured of MM. Yes, I am thankful for a long CR from ’99. Further, I believe in evidence-based, non-toxic metronimic therapy This is the same principle as low-dose maintenance therapy but my approach is non-toxic as I am in this for the long-term.
As for your question about nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle therapies, others, I live an evidence-based but non-toxic anti-MM lifestyle. The multiple myeloma cancer coaching program is 13 guides containing 60 plus studies about what I do and why.

ReplyThank-You for this information. Greatly appreciated. I am a 5 year MM survivor. No SCT…I am high-risk for infections.
ReplyHi Louise-
Though I can’t point to research that supports my thinking I believe that the flexitarian diet or a diet with lots of fruits, veggies, etc. helps us MMers with our immune systems. I haven’t had a cold or the flu for years. I also supplement and do other lifestyle therapies more for my MM but I think my body benefits in many ways.
Good luck,
David Emerson
