I checked with my daughter and it has been almost nine years since I had my thyroid removed. I complained about low thyroid for years and I did after the surgery, but now the doctors say I must stay at my lower dose to prevent risk of more cancer. Well, it can't be thyroid cancer again because it is gone!
So that is a main reason why I avoid sugar because it does feed cancer cells. This was my second cancer. My first cancer was a breast cancer lump which was removed and I had 42 radiation treatments. If I just had more energy to do more work, not as much as in the past, I would be quite happy. I have to blame the diabetes for some of that, I suppose. Dorisena
