Thank you for the information; I may need it myself. I had a mastectomy in 2014, and I understand that the common belief now is that cancer never goes away. Sometimes it stays dormant forever after, and sometimes it rears its ugly head.
Sometimes I try to drill down on why it hit me when absolutely nobody in my family has, or has had it. “Stress” seems to be the word that rises to the top — every time.
Shirley has been very overweight the last thirty years. Fat cells make estrogen, which stimulates the type of cancer she has.
Her PET scan also showed a fatty liver, so she was on her way towards diabetes.
Since her diagnosis in April, her weight has dropped from about 205’ish to 167, and has stabilized. I was afraid she was going into cachexia there for a while.
The MCT shake should preclude that, if I can get her to drink it. She wouldn’t drink the one I just mixed until I added another 1/4 cup of coconut cream and a tablespoon of unsweetened peanut butter. So that just doubled the carbs now, to ten. I don’t get it. The cancer is trying to kill her and she insists that everything tastes perfect.
And she’s asking for chips and cheese for dinner. That’s torilla chips with shredded cheese, nuked in the microwave
She said yesterday “I can’t have this, I can’t have that, I have no life, this is the only enjoyment I get. I’m done, I just want to give up.”
She’s watching cooking shows on youtube at the moment. That doesn’t help.
Oops, just checked on her and now it’s Joyce Meyer. :)
