I TOTALLY agree. Prior to dx I was a 4-5 candy bar a day person (when I was younger a BAG of candy a day...suprised I didn't weigh more than I did or have diabetes). SINCE dx, I have NO desire to eat candy...even sweets, do the Breast Cancer diet religiously (see www.cancerrd.com or go to prevention magazines website and type in Breast Cancer Diet), walk 2 miles per day and have lost 45lbs (15 more to get me to a "healthy" BMI). I'm getting Herceptin every 3 weeks for the next year and my feeling is that while Herceptin is stopping the protein from telling any cancer cells to grow/spread, my diet and exercise are helping my immune system say KILK, KILL.
