Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this. When my beloved Dad had glioblastoma brain cancer, he started craving ice cream and sweets. He was also on steroids which increased his appetite tremendously. The oncologist said to let him eat anything he wants. He said food is of little consequence. He said, “Now is not the time to start a broccoli diet”, and he laughed. The physical therapist had said the same thing. I’m in the US. It seems like Western medicine avoids conversation and discussion about nutrition in terms of cancer. I think it should be studied and encouraged far more than it is.I've been wondering for a while if cachexia is also related to the cancer using your food intake to grow (and the fat stores on your body already.) Obesity is a big risk factor for cancer because the cells can get so much fuel from your body (I think).
Oh I'm probably not understanding it very well, but I'm linking a Memorial Sloan Kettering paper about it. It's one of the best cancer hospitals in the US (it's in New York City). Hope I'm not spamming up the thread, but years ago I read about a study that showed that people who take Vitamin A supplements showed increased growth of their tumors, and that got me thinking about cancer sort of consuming people at the end -- I guess an invading parasite is a better image - using your body as its home, so of course it would need sustenance - where else would it get it?
Cancer Cells Eat Fat to Grow and Spread
Research conducted in zebrafish shows that melanoma cells have an affinity for fat, and that eating it makes them more aggressive.
I never knew that was the reason why obesity is a risk factor for cancer. You learn new things every day!

It's absolutely horrendous.
If she died tomorrow the kids would still have to deal with it.. it’s awful but even at their young age they must see the deterioration in their mother, maybe giving them notice helps them prepare. You’re right though either way it’s absolutely horrendous and really puts life into perspective.Those poor kids. What on earth were Jenny and Kyle thinking when they told them she was dying? Ellis is at the age where a fixation with death could lead to anxiety and depression. His mind must be filled with thoughts of death. It's on Winnie's mind too - she's the same age as my twin daughters and it makes me so angry that she is having to try to grapple with such a complex subject.
Kyle has checked out of reality as far as I can see ( it could also be argued that he never lived in the real world however ). He is mesmerised by the big bucks and seems buoyed up, as high as a kite. I have a feeling that the money will keep rolling in for him after Jenny's passing. Every waking moment will be spent at bloody Disneyland

Oh you meant the thumbnail.. it’s obvious to get maximum impact.. I don’t understand these cancer vloggers at some point money shouldn’t matter, put the phone down and just take time to be with your nearest & dearest.
Yeah there is something off about how he is acting now.Kyle has checked out of reality as far as I can see ( it could also be argued that he never lived in the real world however ).

It's actually not irrelevant at all. TL is about discussing ridiculous clickbait.
That's rough to read, lm so sorry to hear this. Puts the whole clinical trial thing into perspective. Take care of you. X
I was one of the lucky ones. I feel terrible for the patients that endured chemo for no reason. This was a National Cancer Institute trial for God's sake.
Maybe Kyle is on some mood elevating medication. Not that he needs it since he's mostly floating in the clouds anyway.Yeah there is something off about how he is acting now.
Done for maximum views and more $$$.
It's like a sick thought process she has going on where she wants to be reminded all the time how much they are going to miss her and how much they don't want her to die.
Yep he is very different in these last videos.Yeah there is something off about how he is acting now.
between her and tiff tumbnail views
i notice it too,was thinking now she dying he dosent have too try hard for vlogs or he he talking too some other chick..
