    Susan,
    At this time I am not aware of any targeted therapy. Still new at all these terms and what is used for the different types of cancer. I have had 2ncycles of chemo -- carboplatin and taxol. I start 10 days radiation in my lower spine tomorrow and 1 day on my brain mets. Then we'll see. As someone else posted a healthy diet is more important. Even after only a month, I find that my appetite is not what it used to be. I went from everyone telling me I was obese to telling me i'm not allowed to lose any more weight. I believe you'll find just as many articles noting that sugar "feeds" cancer is a myth. Lots of our cells need sugar. As Tom says, I wouldn't put much stock in Doctor Google. So, don't be afraid to eat. You won't actually be doing our body any good by that. Get a notebook and write down your questions for your doctor. We also wrote questions about nutrition and diets and restrictions. As I mentioned, most of my doctors were more concerned about bacteria causing problems than whether I ate a popsicle or bread for dinner.
    Good luck on your journey. There's lots of info thrown at you so fast it can seem overwhelming. Just take it one day at a time.
    Hugs and prayers!

    Yes Bridget O.,
    It had to do with being on chemo and neutrophils. Forgot about that...so much to absorb.

    Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry you had to join. I am also newly diagnosed stage IV adenocarcinoma. I am on no special diet but I have been told I can not eat beef unless it is well cooked..no pink...no food from buffets, no fresh vegetables unless we clean, prepare them ourselves. No fruit already peeled, cut up at a store or restaurant. It seems they are concerned about bacteria with an immune compromised system more than anything else. Hugs and prayers!
