I read this morning that Andy Williams has bladder cancer and is undergoing chemo to reduce the tumors with the hopes of being able to remove the bladder.

This is not new news, but is a new study on the topic of higher fluid intake being associated with reduced bladder cancer risk, at least for younger men. Study was just of men (per usual!), but I don\'t see why it wouldn\'t be applicable to women as well....

After being advised of my BC plight, a friend sent me info via email from a Nutriton/Cancer Handbook. The biggest emphasis? Throw away your sugar. Don\'t eat sugar or products containing sugar. Cancer thrives and multiplies on sugar. This thought seems to be based on PET scan studies. But the...
