Hey everyone, I'm below just because my uncle was lately diagnosed with liver cancer, and I've been doing any research on how diet can play a role in managing the condition. Does anyone have any tips or activities they'd like to share?
sorry to hear on your uncle,. Diet can absolutely play a significant role in managing liver cancer. From what I've read, it seems like reducing intake of processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats can help. Anyone else get thoughts on this?

My mom was diagnosed with liver cancer last year, and her medical doctor recommended a diet rich in lean proteins like fish and chicken, along with many leafy greens. She's been following it religiously, and while it's been tough at times, she says she feels better overall.
