I'm not a doctor. Ive just spent a lot of time looking into this (as im sure you have) because a close relative died from Stage IV lung cancer.

There are studies on fasting with chemo.. and depending on the type of cancer its either effective or ineffective. My comment was specifically about the end stages where cachexia is common (from my link above):

"Cachexia is associated particularly with cancer where the prevalence can reach 50–80% in advanced malignant cancer."

And all of the advice Ive found says fasting is not recommended for patients with cachexia.

It sounds like it was fine in your case though because you were able to regain the weight. Best of luck with your scans.
