Did you Know Cancer Cells Loves Sugar & So Do I

[AlaskaAngel]

When it comes right down to it, none of us or the oncs know whether the chemotherapy they are giving any one of us will work for that particular individual either -- and most of the time, it doesn't work -- but a lot of people still do chemo hoping that in their case it will help. There is a LOT oncs don't know much about, and I think that includes not knowing enough about how the body deals with sugar.

What's your glucose # in your comprehensive bld tests? Mine was on the high end, even though I gave up sugar in '04 (because it was a *trigger* food for my IBS issue), and because I'd heard about the canser loves sugar thing. I was a major chocoholic. I now won't even take 1 bite, knowing that it is poison for me.

Due to unrelenting hot flashes, I went to an endocrinologist in my desperation. She said high bld sugar could cause hot flashes. I was given a whole panel of tests including a glucose tolerance test (was *gestinal* diabetic, in other words when pregnant 100 and 102 yrs ago). So I am not yet a diabetic but I have very high bld sgr and am on meds for this. Now my bld sgr is normal. Yeah. My hot flashes are still flashing. But -- my canser is in remission. SO I GUESS LIFE IS SWEET... Pun intended.
