"STOP ANY AND ALL SUGAR INTAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT IS ONE OF THE ENERGY SOURCES THE CANCER CELL S LOVE"

I find this confusing. "Sugar" is a generic term. For example, there is glucose. Sometimes called "blood sugar", it is the main (only?) fuel for our brains. And our muscles use it a lot. Then there's fructose, found in many fruits and vegetables. It can be good ("an apple a day...") or bad (high-fructose corn syrup), or do we mean sucrose, table sugar, from things like cane and beets? There may be other sugar variants. Some of them are essential to survival.

What "sugar" should we specifically eliminate?

I wouldn't take most dietary advice in this forum too literally. Cancer makes a person feel out of control, so it's natural to try to find ways to feel in control again, including following dietary fads.

As long as the diet includes a healthy balance of nutrients and doesn't interfere with primary medical treatment, there's no harm.
