After research I found articles that discuss fructose issues. Consensus is eating a small amount of fruit does not increase the risk of prostate cancer. In fact, studies suggest that higher fruit consumption, particularly citrus fruits, is associated with a modest reduction in prostate cancer risk.

The only thing you want to be careful of with fruit is the same as with sugar, eating too much causes metabolic issues, though too much fruit gives cancer some to feed plus you have metabolic issues.

As for blueberries, consumer reports produce ratings rate the organic domestic and imported blueberries as very safe to eat. Both domestic and imported blueberries that are not organic are really, not safe to eat.

Once again, your body runs on sugar. More-complex carbs and proteins get broken down to glucose during the digestive process. If you somehow managed to stop your body from producing enough glucose to feed the cancer cells, your brain (among other organs) would fail as well

OTOH, since weight gain and diabetes are both common complications of hormone therapy, it is still a very good idea to go *extremely* easy on the refined sugar. Just don't expect it to stop your cancer. Best of luck, everyone!
