Re: Will having a healthier lifestyle help?

It's a tricky one isn't it, the balance between living a healthy lifestyle and doing unhealthy things that make you happy! It depends on how old and set in his ways he is. I often see relatives pushing their parents to stop smoking, cut out the beer, eat well, drink lots, exercise more etc when actually they are happy in their current routine which is not necessarily the healthiest.

Some unhealthy people live for years and some healthy fitness fanatics die too young, perhaps life isn't fair!

But will increasing his healthy lifestyle help his cancer?? It depends on how much fight is involved in making him change!

I hope this helps, Dr Webberley
