I agree with the idea of the article and have been told the same by all of my nurses and doctors, however, this article is not accurate with the calorie amount. If you read the comments below article it also states this. 12600 calories is way way to much. I have always been told 30 -60 min. per day is good. :D

Thank you so much for posting the information ... it is definitely essential.
9/11 dx CRC, colectomy/ileostomy, Stage IIIC :shock:
11/11 - 6/12 FOLFOX/nulasta
7/12 watching possible cyst on ovary ... 8/12 it grew
10/12 hysterectomy, oophorectomy, complications/blockage, TPN
Stage IVa
12/12 small bowel resection
3/13 -9/13 FOLFIRI/nulasta
NED
10/14 - 2/15 close monitoring
4/15 it grew
PET/biopsy .. local recurrence
8/15 surgery
NED ... No chemo!

Yeah, keep reading the comments. Someone looked up the actual study, the measurement was juju something or other. Anyway, they are equivalent to 1/4 of a calorie so really talking about a little over 3000 calories a week.
Husband has RC Stage IIIC
Chemorad 9/28-11/07
2 rounds FOLFOX to get rid of iliac LN
LAR Surgery 1/17 ileostomy
presacral abscess 2/1 - 3/27
FOLFOX began 4/5 - 6/15
another presacral abscess 6/30-8/10
Reversal 9/11
10/15 fistula with drain
