Aim to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

Make sure they are organically grown.

I have to disagree with some of this advice, because I live in one of the breast cancer research heavy areas of the US. The top experts sometimes speak out about the situation, and what they say makes a lot of sense.

1) Time is of the essence. Under no circumstances delay, deny, “futz around”, sink into depression, try alternative cures first, or otherwise waste time. This is a major killer with cancer.
2) It is absolutely VITAL that you get a second or even third opinion. DO NOT be embarrassed at all.
3) Research is happening at breakneck speed, and *nobody* knows everything that is going on everywhere. So it is up to you to do the leg and phone work.
4) Get to where the research and treatment are happening. Leave “Podunk” and move to where the action is. Physically visit research facilities, study medical information on the Internet until you are an expert in your condition. Find out about experimental and research programs. Keep in daily touch with your family, but it is best if they can go it alone most of the day, because you must have time to do what you need to do.
5) Just breast cancer alone can have a dozen versions that can only be distinguished by experts. This matters, because they have a dozen different treatments, optimized for each particular kind.
6) Be extra careful to NOT consume substances that might accelerate tumors; this is the flip side to eating healthy foods. Get approval for any alternative medicines you try.
7) Cancers can sometimes act almost like they are intelligent, so if they are attacked, they will try to survive and fight back. This is why 3 different treatments are often used at once, to overwhelm its defenses.
