Hi!
I was just Dx in December 2017. Currently recovering from a mastectomy. Even though I'm not overweight, my onco wants me to lose weight (!!!!) As he says that body fat % is the biggest risk for BC...after being female, of course. He's fine with a ketogenic diet (nutrient dense) as that is what has worked for me in the past. I'm upping my exercise... I'm at 2000 steps/day (which is huge. Last week I was at 50 post surgery). My goal is the ACS recommended 5 hours/week. Anyone else out there using keto and exercise to lose weight to fight cancer and want to friend me?
