Answering YOUR Questions About My Cancer: Part One (Diet, Surgery & Chemo)

As you can imagine, we get a LOT of questions about my cancer, so we thought we'd attempt to answer some of them. I included the list of questions and timestamps to different topics below. You can also check out our other videos related to my cancer journey here: https://bit.ly/KrockCancerJourney and follow along for more updates here: https://www.gofundme.com/jessicakrock Click on a time below to skip ahead to a specific section of the Q&A: Diet / Eating Plant-Based - 00:27 Surgery - 13:32 Chemotherapy - 24:28 Diet / Eating Plant-Based (starts at 00:27) Did you ever consider your vegan diet as a possible cause? Cancer is partial to glucose. So the delicate question is, why are you eating a plant-based diet if you got cancer, is it related? One would assume that the most healthiest diet would be the healthiest outcome. Do you believe that the cancer is related to the diet? Or not? Have you considered a raw vegan diet? I’ve seen people on YouTube talk about how it helped cure their cancer. What about to put your body in a state of ketosis, I'm thinking about to add another line of defense. I'm not a vegan but I had a stroke in 2020. The ketones help to recover faster and better. I know is not the same, but I know you can be a vegan eating keto diet. How difficult was it to eat vegan/WFPB when you’re in the hospital? Surgery (starts at 13:32) Have you had a hysterectomy? Having been a nurse who took care of ovarian cancer patients many years ago, I was surprised when the surgeons did not perform a total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy when they realized you had ovarian cancer. Is the protocol different now? I know you wanted to preserve embryos, but… Why have they not removed both of the your ovaries? Were you not able to be successfully debulked? Or did you choose not to do “full” ovarian cancer surgery that removes about everything including Omentum and reproductive organs? Why can you not have surgery and have tumors out as much as they can and let chemo work on a smaller area? Why wait? It could potentially spread while waiting month after month. Can they not just take out the bad things? Is there another surgery planned? Liver transplant… hope this isn’t a stupid question, but could this be an option at some point? Chemo (starts at 24:28) Why did they choose to do chemo for you? I’ve had neuroendocrine cancer in the lung. The hospital told me chemo would not work. Only a 1 percent chance. Their treatment consisted of surgery only. I guess I’m wondering why they recommended chemo? What chemo are you taking? Are you in a private room or are there chemo buddies in the room just off camera? Have you researched the studies on fasting during chemo? Are you supposed to eat certain foods/not eat on chemo days? Have you seen the video on chemo and fasting from McGregor? Do you have ginger before your chemo? I had a friend that did chemo, but he did it at home it was portable. Why can’t you do that? Just curious. Are there restrictions to being intimate since starting chemo? Do you have a port? Does the chemotherapy affect your taste buds? How will your doctors know how you are responding to the chemotherapy? Have you gotten any sores in your mouth or nose? ---- Visit our Amazon page for all of our favorite products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/krocksint...
