Thanks for the replies, as always, they help. I guess I need to put the chocolate away, darn it. I know the sugar is not good, but it felt WONDERFUL to eat something the same exact way I ate it before the radiation. The hugs taste, feel, etc., the exact same now. So, as is my personality, I went WAY overboard with it. Close to half a bag a day.......and I wonder why the scales keep creeping up............up to 134 now which is almost 10 pounds OVER my prediagnosis weight.
I can feel a soreness after I eat alot of these candies. Regardless, I will have it looked at again, I go to the doctors on Sept. 28th.
Love,
Minnie
