Thank you for this. I don't have your background but I have GBM and research it and yes agree there is a total bypass in your system for keto. Your body finds a way to get what it needs. Keto might buy some time before that takes effect but it is not a solution.

If you went the keto route, you may want to explore BACH1 inhibition. Study [3] acknowledges the effective role of keto in reducing or controlling tumor size, but with an associated increase in BACH1 expression appearing to account for the increased metastasis (in mice).

Apparently there are a couple small molecule inhibitors that inhibit BACH1 (see ChatGPT). Unfortunately, they seem to be still in the experimental or early clinical stages.

I'm not in the medical profession, I'm just a humble internet user. It's entirely possible you know more than me - I'm happy to hear other ideas.

It might still be a solution. The cancer may be spread out and easier for the body to effectively tackle. Also note that it may depend on type or location.

One thing that does seem clear is that if you do go the keto route, you would need to stick at it. If you purposefully break it down, it spreads, then you give it back the fuel, it would probably make the situation far worse by growing rapidly in multiple locations.
