Sorry to hear that Tweedy. Did you read that first article by the woman who was told to feed her mother tons of sugar as she was struggling with cancer? Sure sounds to me as if that was bad advice.

I just remembered something else about cancer and sugar. I've read that in Europe, doctors frequently use cancer cells' love of sugar to help the effectiveness of chemo treatments. First they dose the patient with lots of sugary junk. Cancerous tumors lap it up and put on a burst of growth. During this rapid growth phase the cancerous cells are actually more vulnerable to the chemo agents and so the treatments are more effective.

Just think about that. The doctors know that if they load up their patients with sugar, the tumors will grow rapidly. Really scary.
