OMG - I posted in my previous post in reaction to your pics and without seeing the entire thread. I am so sorry to hear about the cancer. Feels like I put my foot in my mouth big-time.

But, you do know that there are studies coming out that show that a very low carb diet is actually quite helpful in fighting cancers. It seems that cancer cells must have carbs to grow and spread and can't use ketones (fats) the same way that healthy cells can. So it is quite possible that the cancer has actually been there for quite awhile and that your low carb diet actually slowed it's growth.

Still wishing you a very long and healthy life but I'll modify my toast to "here's to kicking the cancer AND maintaining your new svelte shape for a very long and healthy life!"
