@davidpball , so helpful. I have been reading about the role of sugar and cancer. I have given up added sugar from time to time for 14 days in an effort to “detox”, prior to being diagnosed with HG NMIC. Each time I felt the benefits, but at day 15 , back to the added sugar via a cookie I went. I am going to give serious thought to elimination - again thank you. I have decided to forgo all alcohol even though the surgeon said 1-2 drinks a week would “probably” be ok. Surgeon also said red wine is the worst drink for the bladder. Funny how we have heard red wine is so healthful all these years.
