- In this video, I will discuss why I need radiation and the difference between Proton radiation vs. Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. Conventional radiation.
I am planning on starting a ketogenic therapeutic diet as an adjunct to radiation and will explain why.
Please like, share and subscribe to my channel to follow along with me in my journey.
Thank you again for sharing your journey. As a cancer survivor, these vlogs provide encouragement and strength. Your vlogs help so many. Always praying for you!
Thank you!! It’s time consuming but it helps me stay accountable and makes me so happy if it’s helping anyone 💛
Thank you for sharing your experience and helping so many people! You are strong and powerful, and bright light. Sending you lots of love and miracles 💕💕
Thank you for your uplifting comment. I feel the love 💕
Praying for you to feel better and better each day ! Love you ❤
I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Your plan sounds very rational and you seem to process these hard times well. Keep up being as human as you are!
Thank you so much 🙏
You are strong, you are loved and you will come through this 💛🫶🏻🙏. As always, happy to see a new vlog from you 💛
Thank you so much for your support. It helps me stay motivated to make these videos. 💛
So happy to hear you are keto during this process.
I wish I was as smart as you. I can't even imagine what it is to be a doctor. I wish you beat this, for both yourself and so you can help others in your medical profession
Yes, it took a lot of work to become a doctor, but more work trying to beat cancer. Hopefully I will stick around and help impact the medical field in a positive way.
God bless you friend, so happy you're going to start on a Keto lifestyle. There is so much literature on its promise. I remember Dr. Bosworth & Dr. E. Westerman doing vids with patients who used it successfully to combat it. The Lord works through physicians (as I'm sure you are well aware) so I'll be praying for divine intervention & wisdom from any & all who are working with you. Thank you for teaching us as you go through this process.
Yes there is a ton of literature. This is what my channel is all about. Sharing information that isn't always popular or easy to find and sharing my own experiences being a guinea pig 😊 Thank you for your prayers. I hope that God will continue to work through me.
You’re so strong and beautiful 🙏🏽🤍🤍🤍😢 wishing you the best. Prayers
Thank you so much!
I hope the proton therapy goes well and gets to those micro cells once and for all. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
You are such an inspiration . My dear child I am praying for a positive outcome .
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for your insightful, educational and scientific discussion of your plans. I was recently treated for advanced rectal cancer, including 6 weeks of high dose radiation. After watching your video it seems obvious that radiation therapy patients should be told of dietary changes that could be helpful during their treatment. Also in general there’s lots of discussion around reducing carb intake to thwart tumor cell replication. Perhaps there isn’t much in the way of formal clinical trials to make recommendations to cancer patients. But certainly dietary considerations and supplements should be a part of treatment discussions with cancer patients. I have more scans next month so I will take some melatonin before. Having access to proton therapy can be challenging. I’m glad you are able to use it as a treatment option. I wish you the best with your ongoing treatments. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences- you certainly have many other things you could be doing.
This is so true!! Diet and fasting can be used as an adjunct to chemo and radiation and at the least will minimize side effects. I wish doctors would not tell the patients that these things don’t matter because they do and there’s nothing to lose by trying it. But being a doctor myself I understand the risk of recommending things that are not standard of care. I hope this will change in the near future.
Soaking up all information.
I am grateful to you.
As a nurse I am able to follow & am grateful for every nugget.
I am happy for you.
It sounds like you have the best doctors and are in good hands.
I pray for you often.
God bless you and your sweet family ❤
Kristen
Awww thank you! I am trying to explain in a way that's easy to understand and with you being a nurse you definitely comprehend what I'm saying. Thanks for watching!
@@NhiTranLee of course. I am grateful to you for bringing us on your journey. God Bless you 🙏🏻
Nhi, you're so strong! I think Proton therapy is something we're very lucky to have. Keep on strong, finish this thing off, you will win. Two weeks sounds alright, give yourself lots of time to travel so you're not rushing or book yourself a hotel room close by for a few days? Wishing you all the best 🤗
Yes I’m glad I have access to proton therapy and that my insurance covered it. I plan to work less during the 2 weeks to have more time to rest and prepare my meals and stuff.
Hi Nhi,
First of all, why do you look so pretty? Loving the hair hehe
Second of all, great update for all of us who are rooting for you and on our own journey. I love listening to you because 1. You’re a doctor and 2. Our views are so alike and I’m especially interested in the ketogenic diet since it’s something I’m strongly considering starting soon as well. Maybe not super strict at first but eventually I can go all in. Please share more! Stay strong and positive. This will all be behind u very soon and you’re going to transform so many lives! ❤
Awww girl thanks for your comment and appreciate you so much! Will definitely keep on sharing my results 🥰
Praying you through your treatment. It’s a lot to go through, but I hope knowing someone in OK is thinking about you helps a little bit🙏💕
Thank you so much!
I wish and pray for your complete recovery.
Praying for you, But as a cancer patient I would never get radiation near my brain. Do no harm. I would get a third, or 4th opinion.
Also as Dr. Loraine Day said, Take your foot off the bus. That means get rid of all stress, and anything you might be doing that’s not healthy.
She lived over 30 years by giving her stress to GOD, prayer and Bible studies. I follow her and Dr. Thomas SEYFRIED. I am.20 years cancer free.
I know we all make our own choices.
Yes, that was my thought too initially and I am still doing everything I can including getting rid of stress (the hardest part) and using the metabolic approach (I follow Dr. Seyfried also). However, due to where the tumor is, it is too risky if it grows back and I had to weigh out the risks vs. benefits. I spent a lot of time in prayer about this and have peace with my decision. I'm so glad that you have been 20 years cancer free. That is amazing!
You’re so sweet and beautiful. We are praying for you in my Bible study.
Im so proud to be able and witness your beautiful journey! I love this type of Vlog video, you are able to provide information in such a calm and soothing way for many others. You are a blessing and a gift to this world❤❤❤
You are the reason I started this channel. Love you so much and so grateful for you!
May your proton treatment go well! ❤️😇
Wow Id never heard about melatonion being used before radiation. Ive had breast cancer and then a recurrence so there have been lots of scans. After hearing this Ill be using it before my next CT.
Yes they have studies on this and you can do a quick search to find the papers.
Thank u for sharing your journey. You are so brave!💙🙏I pray that all goes well.
Thanks for sharing your story. There is a Dr. Peter Rogers that had several videos on fighting cancer, but he gets very few views so you may have not come across him. He discusses the biochemistry regarding cancer. He is a plant based Dr. I am praying for you and wish the best for you. May God help you in your journey!
I just saw a debate with him and Bart Kay. This carnivore vs vegan debate seems like never ending. We need for research. In the mean time, the low carb, Whole Foods mostly plant based is what I will do. Thank you for your prayers 💛
Praying that your new treatment will go well. Jesus bless you❤
Sounds like you are trying to be in control. This was such an interesting video. I hope your proton therapy goes well. Will be good to hear how your fasting/keto diet help your results. Wishing you good luck with this treatment. Much love x
Yes, controlling what I can control. It helps to keep me motivated and keep me going.
@@NhiTranLee send you all my good wishes from the UK. Xx
The doctor has to see the doctor. I don’t know if being a doctor makes this an easier or worse experience, but I wish you well.
Yeah when doctor becomes patient it surely does change the perspective. I would say it makes my experience easier for sure.
Look into Chris Beat Cancer, loads of information and success stories
Yes! I have his books and follow him on so all of his platforms. He was one of the first people I discovered when I started all my holistic stuff. He also posted his program Square One for free a few times it was very helpful.
She’s so pretty ! Sad to see Someone so young having to go through that
You are very brave and it is commendable you are posting these videos to help other. I.pray you get really good outcomes. Chicken is so cute btw. We have a fur baby too.
Thank you! Cats are the best and Chicken is so sweet
@@NhiTranLee our cat is adorable too. They can sense our moods and know when we need cheering up.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Dr., for sharing this difficult journey with all of us !
I must say you’re so beautiful , you have beautiful skin please share your regimen !
I’m so glad you doing well & thank you for sharing your diet & natural, vitamins .
You’re going to help lots of people , because sometimes we’re busy with life . And don’t pay attention, to the signals our body is sending . And we tend to dismiss it & like it’s nothing . But we have to be aware of any symptoms & go to our Doctor 👩⚕️ !
🙏🏿❤️🤗❤️🩹😘🥰😊
It is so true that we don't pay attention to our bodies. We only have one temple and we must take care of it before sickness comes. I don't have much of a skin regimen 😀 and actually had acne up until a few years ago. Now the acne went away and skin is great. Eating a healthy diet helps a lot.
Good luck
God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏❤
Thanks!
You're awesome
❤️😊
I have stage 4 cancer and am using the calorie restricted whole food moderate protein high fat keto diet too. I also use the keto mojo meter I got from Amazon. I found if my GKI is not 2.0 or below I also take BHB salts and organic coconut oil and usually it puts me in a GKI of 2.0 or below. Thomas Seyfried’s work is fantastic. Thanks for the video!
That’s great advice thank you! I will try that. How is your cancer doing?
In one of the interviews Mr. Seyfried mentioned it can take up to a year to see results. My gentleman oncologist has put me on 'wait and see' so I have personally used the time to try out Mr. Seyfried's recommendations. After about 6 months I have started to see results. I have had no treatments within the 6 month period so I personally attribute it to likely Mr. Seyfried's advice. One tumor is completely gone, others shrunk, and bone lesions have remained stable while one grew and another decreased so far. Overall a decrease in cancer thank God. I have used fenbendazole, berberine, green tea extract, and L-Mythylfolate. I am planning on being a patient at the Hippocrates Research Foundation and am talking with Mr. Orrego next week. They use Mr. Seyfried's advice.@@NhiTranLee

I made 2 comments but none of them were posted. lol Dunno why. @@NhiTranLee
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your ketogenic diet with radiation is so interesting. Did your radiologist suggest it?
My daughter has had 3 surgeries to remove tumors on her brain stem. Ependymoma. The first surgery required radiation after. 2nd no further treatment. 3rd was a higher grade and she did oral chemo (clinical trial) for a period of time. Radiation was in 2014 and there was no mention of any special diet or supplements.
Wishing you the best! I will continue to learn from your videos. ❤
Hi, no it was not. Most conventional doctors will never talk about diet or lifestyle changes because it’s not standard of care and not “evidence based” so this is more in the alternative treatments realm which is so important for people to be aware of. Like I said it was based on my own research and not given as medical advice. I hope your daughter is doing well 💛
I know coconut oil and heavy cream are popular for people to get enough fat.. & I've heard that too much protein can knock you out of ketosis.
God bless you ❤
Yes too much protein will do that. Coconut cream and oil is great. I won’t be including dairy though so more challenging.
I had a dog named goat\popcorn so I get the idea of giving pets names that are unusual at first.
Aww cute names yeah it makes it funnier. Our last dog was named porkchop 😊
Liposomal berberine, apigenin, artemisinin, curcumin are in the marketplace.
Hi Nhi. I remember the radiation I also had the mask It was so tight I couldn't breath so they cut a hole for me to breath through my mouth. Before I went in, the radiotherapist told me what would happen, also what could go wrong. All stupid things go through your head so I went out side I said I'm not doing this. But I knew I had too. It was ok, 10 minutes each time. I didn't feel anything, I still have Pet Scan and MRI every six months. I hope everything goes well so you can get on the road to recovery. 🌹Alan Aus
Yes that mask is not fun. I like to just close my eyes and meditate, relax and breathe and imagine the tumor disappearing while I do the treatments.
Nhi. We are with you all the way You are not alone.
I am hoping this all works out well for you. My first diagnosis I asked my oncologist if I should start keto and he laughed at me and said that won’t help…. Every time I asked what diet should I follow or how should I eat and what to stay away from they all said just eat whatever your craving. Three years later I am finally cancer free. Now doing keto to keep cancer from returning
Yeah most conventional doctors aren’t trained in nutrition and don’t discuss diet. I am so glad you are cancer free. Did you end up modifying your diet at all or did you just eat whatever as the doctor said?
@@NhiTranLee the first diagnosis I modified it greatly. Stuck to mostly vegetables, however, I lost my appetite very quickly. I ended up being told to drink the premade shakes I can’t remember what they were called but they were terrible and had tons of unhealthy stuff in them. I was just on survival mode at that point. Second time around I lost my appetite right off the bat and would eat charcuterie at 11pm every night and one slice of cheesecake. It was what I was craving. The onc said as long as I’m eating. That was the only time I ate.
@@michellerovedatti yes it is so hard to eat when you lose your appetite and you end up craving a lot of foods that aren’t good for you but unfortunately you have to eat. I totally get it. So happy you’re doing well now and doing keto for prevention.
@@NhiTranLee how are you feeling this week?
❤
🙏🙏🙏❤
I would like to share a mantra I often use with you, if that’s ok. See how it resonates, maybe it could help you.
"All the cells in my body are conspiring to restore my health / keep my body fit, i 'm receiving loving light from the universe and feel the healing love expand in every cell of my body." Of course you can adjust it so it resonates more. Sending you so much positive energy. 💖
Thank you so much for sharing! I love it and will try it out. I do a lot of visualization type of meditations where I listen to videos that have similar messages/wording.
@@NhiTranLee that's super! Your doing great. I choose 1 affirmation that resonates most and i let it play like a broken record in my head. It's like a mantra. For example:" all is well", " this too shall pass". Let me know how that feels 😉😘
@@YouToBeYou I usually say everyday in every way I am getting better and better. I use the Silva method too and lots of Joe Dispenza’s work before but haven’t been doing it. Gonna be back to it when I start the diet.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Not that it's super important, but I think a microphone purchase would be great for the vlog :)
Working on it and was just thinking that! 😁
@NhiTranLee how did you end up going with the Keto diet? Did you end up staying vegetarian during the diet?
Hi, I am still on a keto diet now, the point is to just cut out refined sugars and carbohydrates. I do eat meat and fish along with vegetables and very little fruit because of the sugar content. We will see how it goes.
What about carnivoire diet?
I tried this for a month back in June. It didn’t go well. My femur tumors grew pretty rapidly and I ended up with surgery and fractured my left femur. I did add a small amount of fruit 2 weeks in though but the first 2 weeks were strict carnivore. My hair fell out and I had a lot of muscle spasms. Didn’t feel good on it.

This suggests even using exogenous keytones can help a lot with radiation. I have mucosal melanoma and have a small recurrence nasally so I am considering proton radiation. My cancer was found in 2021 and I had immunotherapy and surgery, a recurrence treated with immunotherapy, and another that we are developing a plan to address. My recurrences are tiny so keto has helped but hasn’t been curative. I look forward to following your journey. It will be 6 or 7 weeks for me.
Thanks for sharing. Please keep me updated on how you are doing I would love to know.
@@NhiTranLee still working on the plan. Will know more Weds.
i hope you'll be okay in the end, fam
I hope so too!
