Re: Suspicion of many scattered brain mets

Hi Agness,

thank you. I live in Canada (GTA). A little bird told me that apparently 2 other women managed to get IT Herceptin in Toronto. That is what I will request from my onc on Wednesday, and I will not take no for an answer.

I have cut back on sugar (drastically reduced processed sugar, if any then fruit or honey). I can't manage to cut out all sugars and carbs - I would starve, I think. I don't mind the sugar too much, even though I occasionally ahve a pice of dark chocolate. But I love milk in my coffee and milk products. And while I will try for whole grain (pretty much anything: bread, noodles, rice, etc.) I can't always do that eating out. How do you manage that, and still live a halfway "normal" (ha! what the heck is normal now???) life?
