fasting and other advice

I have clinic today. So perhaps when this regular potential life changing might happens my disease is more on my mind. Tits night then explain why, with 2 relative strangers, a woman at choir and a TA at work I've said more about me when asked my recovery is going. 

One listened with care and interest and reflected on how I am accepting, impressed that I came across as close the three Buddhist ideal she strives for. The other asked if I'd tried fasting. She'd heard that helps and stuck to this advice when I explained it was genetic. If only the Drs knew! I almost told her about my 3 weeks of starvation level not eating when the cyst was crushing my brain stem. Kept hydrated and enough mineral stuff in the form of tablets and the odd mouthful of something. That didn't change the tumour. But of course I smiled and thanked her and made my excuses to leave. 

I worry that I could find myself monitoring my food too much, taking away the joy I find in food and suddenly being someone who stresses about what I eat and drink. I don't think that is how I want to live. 

Let's hope my day is a good one.
