Hi Steph,
You said it so well -- a cancer diagnosis is about change and a real wake-up call. I, too, drink only one or two cups in the a.m. and then switch to water and at this moment am about to wean myself from those two cups. I went to the health food store yesterday to buy a coffee substitute. I really like the taste and the "zing" you get from coffee, but I also know our health is about "choices," too. I've never put anything sweet in my coffee and now just realized I do use the "Irish Cream" so I guess that's not accurate. I'll go for rice or almond milk now to lighten it. Haven't used it, but hear Stevia extract is a natural sweetener many hypoglycemics use.
All the best,
Vicki Z
