Thanks for writing, Diana, and please, I didn't mean anything offensive when I talked about everyone else being "older", it's just that in the oncology waiting room, every person I speak to that has lung cancer is 60 and upward. I was surprised that someone in her 40's could get it.
She also has a daughter, she is 18 and will be valedictorian of her graduating class this year. One of several goals to aim for.
I'm glad to hear that your husband is doing well. I don't know if my sister in law would consider acupuncture or not. She doesn't disagree with alternative medical treatments but she also isn't really pro-active in seeking them out. She seems to be completely confident in her doctors, which is not a bad thing. I've tried to get her into an all natural nutrition center but she's not really intersted.
You said your husband gave up sugar? Is there a reason for doing that that is relative to his cancer or was just to improve his health? The reason I'm asking is because my sister in law seems to be losing her sense of taste but she really likes sweet things now and since she needs the extra calories I was wondering if maybe there was a medical reason she should not be eating them. She has a lot of people bringing meals over to her and her family and a lot of those meals include a desert of some kind.
I'll pass along your thoughts to her. Thank you! T
