Here I was, home from teaching due to Covid-19, recovering from lung surgery, worried and scared but also overcome with the feeling that I had better give this diet a good college try, and just see. I had three months until my next CT scan, so surely I could do it for three months.

It was not fun, pretty much all fruits and veggies. No dairy, no meat, no eggs, no sugar, no bread, no pasta, nothing processed. Hummus is a friend, and green smoothies, spelt flour, alkaline salts things Ive never heard of became pantry staples. I got used to it after the first few weeks and have felt great. Starved, but great.

I continued my daily 3- to 4-mile walk and positive journal. This past week I went for my scan and the results were good. I said to my loved ones beforehand, I would feel like I won the lottery if they said, "Your scans are clean. We dont see anything to worry about in your lung." Well, guess what? That is just what happened.

I cry when Im happy. Oh, the happy tears! I wanted to shout it from the rooftop of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Institute, EVERYONE GET ON THIS DIET. I sort of did that, on Facebook. Ugly crying face included.

Im not saying Im cancer-free. I say Im doing great. I feel good. Today is a good day and Im cautiously optimistic. I have everything I could want. A world-class cancer hospital right down the road. Fantastic family and friends supporting me. A new year, hopefully with my students starting up soon (I really miss them).
