Extraction of Sweet Tooth

My surgeon called today from St. Louis. She reviewed the PET scan with a radiologist and compared the scan to ones I'd had in St. Louis last year. This radiologist detected more spots on the latest scan than the radiologist in Pittsburg. I have an appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday, Sept. 8 in the afternoon and she plans to do a biopsy on Wednesday morning. Results from pathology will determine the next step.
I am feeling physically very well. My vegetarian diet has not been hard to maintain - although omitting sugar has been the biggest struggle. Common knowledge is that cancer loves sugar and most are encouraged to cut way back on sweets, refined sugar and flour. (Although I did not hear this from any of my physicians!) My "sweet tooth" is genetic, I'm sure, as my dad and my paternal grandmother loved sweets, too. Two of my sisters have the same affliction. To curb the craving, I have sips of grape juice - high in anti-oxidants. Emotionally, I think I'm in disbelief. I was hopeful that I'd gotten through the worst, and I may have. I do think I'll be receiving more treatment of some kind. Just have to wait - and waiting is the hardest thing to do. I lean on Jesus and pray for healing.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand: it is I who say to you "Fear not, I will help you." Isaiah 41:13
Blessings to you,
