Long term fasting for stopping/slowing AN growth

[andrewiscycling]

Hi everyone, newly diagnosed with sporadic 21x30x22 AN.  41yo healthy and very active male (VO2 Max 60)

I am curious if anyone has tried longer duration fasting to stop/slow/reduce the size of the tumor? I have been intermittent fasting for nearly 10years, so looking for any experience in 3+ days.

There seem to be many studies on fasting w.r.t. cancer, specifically how glucose regulation can have a major positive impact.  However, I have not found much information w.r.t. ANs, and hoping someone here has experience with it leveraging the autophagy and inflammation-reducing benefits.

I am currently halfway through my first 3-day fast.

While I have read about benefits of intermittent fasting, I have not heard of any relationship between intermittent fasting and acoustic neuromas.  That does not mean such research does not exist, and it certainly does not mean that intermittent fasting could not be of benefit to those of us with acoustic neuromas.  AFAIK, there is no evidence either way.  But let us know how it goes with you, andrewiscycling.

Best wishes on your journey!
