Research for dietary change post cancer

When a friend saw this appeal online she tagged me in the post.  

We’re signed up to be interviewed by Elodie, but she needs more of us who have changed our eating habits after a cancer diagnosis.  Can you help?

Research on cancer and diet

Elodie’s contact details and those of her University are below.  We can testify to how the changes have helped us and want to ‘pay forward’ what we’ve learned to help others.

Healing Cancer Study Support Group

Thank you Abbey for your endorsement of our site this week.

We had the highest number of searches in any one day on Saturday – many looking at the cancer resources featured.  

One of which is of course your hugely informative and supportive group.


Peaches and roses

Our garden’s showing off this summer.  Beautiful blood-red roses transplanted from a friend in the village who was clearing out her garden to make way for an expanded veg patch.  They seem very happy with their new home.

And after a ruthless pruning session two years ago our peach tree is back with vengeance.  

They taste just as good as they look.

Fruit salad.  Healthy recipes

This is what they became.  When friends pop by on the way home from their hols a garden-produce-based lunch was a treat.


‘These boots were made for walking’ as the song goes and they served me well this week.  Le Puy de Dome is found in the Auvergne region of France and was a great destination in the beautiful sunshine. Returned, refreshed and ready to go once more.
