Suggest Treatment For Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Hi, I am diagnose with very rare cancer called pseudomyxoma peritonei, I had 2 surgeries to debulk cancer but still could not get rid of all the cancer. I ve been eating a lot of fresh organic fruits and vegetables and drinking a lot of freshly squeezed organic carrot juice. I only eat a little chicken and fish. I did my blood test and I have above normal alkaline photostate and above normal CEA [LC ] level. This seems like a contradiction to my diet. I thought my diet will help me get rid of the cancer but looks like it s not. I m confused. Any suggestion to lower this levels?

Hi,

I have seen few patients with similar disease and got recovered too. Non veg / chicken, fish should not be eaten, it takes lot of time in digesting and pathophysiology of disease, I too do not suggest these foods. Yes, healthy vegetables fruits, easily crush-able salads are good in these disease [in veg diet there is thousand of option too, so you can easily find ones].

As treatment can vary from wait and watch too surgery ,medical drugs [needs total workup/tests,stage] etc. In this disease, one thing is helpful i.e art of living, meditation course [by some unknown mechanism when combined with treatment, have seen total recovery in one study also.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
