Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

I, too have been diagnosed with vulvar melanoma and will be going to Mayo on Dec. 6th to see a gynecologic oncologist. What does sugar have to do with the size of the tumor being removed? I always crave sugar but did not have knowledge that it would increase the tumor?

@scm. The question of sugar and sugar craving is a good question to ask your physician at Mayo Clinic. It’s been something discussed here on Connect. I haven’t seen any evidence that sugar increases a tumor. I know that when I’m very stressed and anxious that I crave sugar and carbohydrates. Do you think that could have something to do with your current sugar cravings?

I have no proof but as soon as my surgery was done I wasn't craving sugar at all like I was in the month leading up to it

Cancer thrives on sugar. I’m doing a lot of naturopathic supplements and holistic cures in my battle. I would recommend for everyone to do some research on healing your body. Our bodies let us down once so we need to ‘beef up’ our health to keep it from reoccurring!
