From PCF, “Prostate Cancer and Eggs, Dairy, Supplements: Your Questions Answered”: “Since Prostate 8 [a study on healthy eating for PCa] was published, more findings have come to light on dairy. Consuming whole milk after prostate cancer diagnosis is linked to increased risk of prostate cancer progression and death from prostate cancer. However, for prostate cancer, dairy products do not need to be avoided entirely. Low-fat and non-fat dairy are not consistently associated with bad prostate cancer outcomes.” https://www.pcf.org/prostate-cancer-and-eggs-dairy-supplements-your-questions-answered-part-1/#:~:text=Since%20Prostate%208%20was%20published,with%20bad%20prostate%20cancer%20outcomes

Chia seeds are a complete protein Complete proteins are those that contain all nine essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are those that our bodies cannot create and must be obtained through food. These include histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

The FDA approved (1/25) a new non-opioid pain medication called suzetrigine, marketed as Journavx. This medication is designed to treat moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults by targeting pain signals in the peripheral nervous system, rather than acting on the brain like opioids.

Gary, it’s approved for specific pain that may not be applicable to cancer patients: short-term moderate-to-severe acute pain (trauma or post-op) only —not chronic pain. But it’s an interesting new approach that’s likely to get plenty of company. The benefit is that you get pain relief plus alertness.
