: sugar & cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

What about sigared things like yogart, sugared

cereals, etc.? did you cut out other things also? Do

you take vitamins, or herbs? I just started arimidex

and one side effect can be weakened bones, so I'm

taking supplements of elemental calcium. If you have

a website that deals with that, or the reasons please

let me know. I am the type of person that has to be

doing something, and changing my diet ( & gently that

of my family), gives me the feeling that I am fighting

the cancer.

Thanks,

Gloria
