Pat, Chocolate is good for a persons soul ! One never needs an excuse to eat this stuff ! My downfall is one fountain coke a day. I don't drink canned or bottle pop it is to strong. The fountain coke with ice gets pretty dialuided.
A good diet with lots of veggies couldn't hurt and I like veggies. They say cancer rates are lower with seventh day adventest, there big on eating right ie lots of raw food. Rocky

Red,

I will be happy volunteer as a fat donor for you!
If you can find somebody to do the transplat, I'm there!

Speaking of cravings--I was never a chocaholic, but had no problem polishing off a large bag of peanut MMs. Since the surgery and losing two feet of intestine, I have no craving for it. Also, I used to avoid cold food due to sensitive teeth, but now crave cold fruit. I keep my orange juice pitcher filled, and a can of peaches or pineapple in the fridge at all times. Then there's the Costco berry smoothies--woohoo! So much for avoiding sugar.

Thanks. That sounds familiar. This is the part of the Mayo article that still makes me suspicious:
"All tissues in your body absorb some of this tracer, but tissues that are using more energy — including cancer cells — absorb greater amounts."

Waistline? I lost 25 lbs over the course of my two TURBTs and cystectomy. After four months I have gained back--tada--one pound. Nice if I were over weight, but now I'm 136, 5' 11". I WISH I could gain some weight. I hope I never have to go through chemo or I'm screwed.

Yahoo Now if you could show me an article that sugar doesn't make my waistline grow, or is actually good for you, I would be in heaven
