There is no specific diet to heal the wound. However in general fatty diet, obesity and preserved food are one of the major contributors of cancer . Taking high vit c is good for wound healing. Eating organic food is not feasible due to the everyday cost hence I suggest the best one can do is thorough washing of vegetables to get rid of heavy metals and pesticides. Get the milk that you consume daily checked through FSSAI which is a govt food safety organisation. Having healthy food is very important .
Next Steps
stage 2 breast cancer is 90 percent curable. enjoy a healthy life.
