Thanks...for heads up information on herceptin and
sugar! I have noticed lately that I crave chocolate soon after my herceptin treatments every 3 weeks. About three or four days later I just crave it.
I gave in this weekend and boy did I feel guilty as I really eat up a lot
of M & M's (the peanut kind)...hmmmmmmm they hit the spot. It's funny
because on the average I don't have those cravings and eat pretty healthy
I am not perfect (I think that is why God put erasers on pencils) but
we must all remember that many women who followed very strict veggie
diets (Linda MaCarthy for one) still got breast cancer. I think something
goes a stray in a chemical manner and the cancer along with our immune
system allows the cell to take off. Those hormones play a mjor role also.
I hope we all learn the why and how real soon......in the meantime, hide
those M & M's every 3rd week...
Hugs,
Jean
