Diabetic so strict glucose control is already a thing.

This cancer was solved for surgically, we just don't know yet if they got it all. 5-7 days on that!

I hope they got it all!

The sigmoid colon is gone, only question is if it snuck into the lymph system before they got it.

That becomes stage 3 with chemo. And it's hanging over my head for 5-7 days (more like 2-5 days now.)

Since your waiting on the follow-up it might still be helpful to learn about the mitochondrial model of cancer.

It doesn't hurt to go zero/very low carb while waiting for your results, then there isn't extra glucose to feed any stray cancer cells floating around.
