Got my gene test back that tells me if chemo will help or not.

9. About sugar

I've been following a low-carb diet for most of my life. Although most people might not think I have a healthy diet, I HAVE avoided sugar far more than the average person...I even buy low sugar ketchup and make many things from scratch just to avoid sugar and carbs that turn to sugar in your system, and I got cancer anyway.
And these days, recovering from chemo, I have been eating whatever the heck I want to. I've lost about 15 pounds, and many things still taste off to me, so I eat what tastes good, and not that much (I seem to get full quickly). I'm sure there will come a day where I have to start cutting back, but for now, I feel like I deserve to treat myself!
There are so many variables in the human body that I don't think we can predict with much certainty who will get cancer, or heart disease, or diabetes.

Oh! My oncologist said on Monday that one in EIGHT women get breast cancer. I said, well, because of me, there are seven women who are okay LOL!
