Hi Petey,
Mike and I heard that it is not true about the sugar. This was second hand information that we got from the oncology pharmacist where Mike got his treatment.
Mike was in for lab work for his 6 month follow up apppointment. The oncology pharmacist stopped to visit with him and while they were talking, Mike brought up the sugar question. The pharmacist said it was funny that he brought that up, 'cus just a few days before, the Radiology Doctor was talking to all the lab and pharmacy employees about that subject. The doctor told them sugar from your diet would not feed cancer.

Unlike most others on this board, Mike has a big craving for chocolate. It is one of the things he can taste well and enjoy. I was starting to nag him about it, I thought it was true about sugar and cancer. Information on this site concerning pet/ct scans and light ups that are subject to interpretation, glucose and the behavior of cancer cells on a molecular level.... well..., concluding sugar is bad is what I came to.

I suppose, not having the education to interpret the doctor's statement fully, I should conclude that moderation is called for. As long as a balanced diet is being consumed, some sweet stuff is mabey ok in moderation.

So, now I can only partially nag at Mike. A Moderate Nag. Hmmm...now that's a challenge!

Take care,
Ginny
