sorry to here about your DH's illness, Tweedy, I wish him well.

my aunt, my mother's twin and like a second mom to me, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer two years ago. She's been through several treatments and continues to do well. The fact she's lived two years with ovarian cancer gives us hope.

she revealed to me recently though that she craves sugar (a problem for our whole family, my grandmother developed on-set diabetes) and is indulging her cravings like she never has before, because as she said "why not indulge myself while I'm sick and need to put on weight anyway?"

I had a 'gut feeling' this wasn't a good idea, but didn't have the info to tell her why it wasn't. Now I do. Thanks, Angeline and Turtle!

she also told my mother that she is feeling extreme fatigue lately (wonder why?)

I've printed the Mercola article and will send it to her snail mail. She's in her 80s and has a computer but never turns it on!
