I have stage 3c Melanoma and went 100% plant based as well.
I went through 20 days of radiation and 1 week of bio-chemo.
I was supposed to go back for 2 more cycles of bio-chemo but after everything i have read and researched seems like plant based is just as effective (and not as harmful) as Chemo.
if anyone is interested i have a blog (chemoblog.wordpress.com) where i have a bunch of the info i was looking at.

No sorry the paralle is comparing MEAT to DRUG's
I was more pointing out it isn't the type of "MEAT (or DRUG)" its the fact that it is a "MEAT(or DRUG)"
All DRUGS are not healthy for people just like all MEAT (regardless of "type") is not truly nescessary or healthy for people either.
I looked at my sistuation and said if i cut out the stuff that isn't good for me it will only make my body stronger and be better equipt to fight diease (Melanoma in this case).
It actually wasn't the meat that was hard to give up, it is the emotional attachment that is associated with the meat.
For example when ever i would have a BBQ (Carna Asada (Mexican Awesomeness) in this case) i always had a great time with friends and family and memories were made. I associated the BBQ (Carna Asada) with the good times and memories, where in fact it was the memories themselves that I was worried i would be "missing" out on if i cut out the meat.
Hope this helps 🙂

Animal Protein (according to "the China Study" and a few other websites i have looked at) is linked to most chronic illnesses (Cancer, Diabetes, Heart diease, etc)
Most doctors say the cause of melanoma is Sun Exposure, Fair Skin, Family History etc.
I am Dark Skined (brownish), No family History, and no real sun exposure that i can remember.
I don't know if Animal Protein causes Melanoma specifically but from everything i have read i would rather Avoid something that is known to cause other types of cancer and promote it then gamble that Melanoma is the "exception"
I'm not a doctor or any type of nutritionist by any means but I will take responsibility for what i put in my face 🙂 and from what i read/reading Animal protien isn't what i should be shoving inside of me.

to that exact question NO but you are not asking the right question.
Yes Chicken, Turkey and Fish have less Fat and Cholesterol and they may have a few differnt nutrients you need ( Omega-3's etc) but it is still ANIMAL PROTIEN.
Read "The China Study" by T. Collin Campbell (http://www.amazon.com/The-China-Study-Comprehensive-Implications/dp/1932100660/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347812705&sr=8-1&keywords=the+china+study) He did alot of studies on ANIMAL Protien that showed it links to cancer and other chronic diseases.
The way you asked the question is simillar to asking is Cocain, Ecstasy and Acid really as bad as Heroin and Meth.
The answer again is probably NO but that doesn't mean you should do Cocain, Ecstasy or Acid they are ALL bad for you.
Our bodies are made like Herbivores so why would eating like a carnivore (even if it is just Chicken, Turkey or Fish) be good for us?
