Like you for the past almost 12 years I have eaten and drank whatever I choose .

I gave up nothing for cancer and never, ever will.

I have eaten at least 2 maybe 3 containers of Kozy Shack chocolate pudding this past week.

The containers are 22 oz gluten free, 1/2 cup equals 140 calories.

I will be in trouble with the weight scale at the next doctor visit.

In addition my son took me out to lunch today at Olive Garden.

He spent 72.00 for lunch and gave her. 16.00 cash tip.

Talk about sticker shock! And it’s not even real Italian food. Microwave heated stuff….

I am going out my way today.

Hope you are enjoying your day too.

Prayers

💕🙏

Coffee is fine to continue drinking. No problems there at all. It will not increase your chance of a reaccurance according to everything I've read. I couldn't give it up if I had to so that's a good thing.
Wishing you well! Endless hugs!!

Not to sound uncaring but I am not giving up coffee for cancer. I don't even know the answer to this since I never had intentions on giving up and foods for cancer. But I wish you the best if you do. 🥰

A normal human cell can divide a limited number of times, typically between 40 and 60 divisions, before it loses its ability to divide and eventually dies. Cancer cells, however, bypass this limitation and can divide indefinitely

How often do cells normal divide before dying?
AI Overview
Normal human cells typically divide about 50 to 70 times before they stop dividing and enter a state of senescence, or eventually die.

Cancer cells have gene mutations that turn the cell from a normal cell into a cancer cell. These gene mutations may be inherited, develop over time as we get older and genes wear out, or develop if we are around something that damages our genes, like cigarette smoke, alcohol or ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

An error in DNA replication is known as a mutation. These mutations can arise from various sources, including errors during replication, exposure to mutagens, or even viral infections. If these errors are not corrected by the cell's DNA repair mechanisms, they can become permanent changes in the DNA sequence.

Gene replication refers to the process of increasing the copy number of a gene within a cell, typically by duplicating the DNA sequence that codes for the gene. This process is essential for cell division, where each new cell needs a complete copy of the genome.

Enjoy life Kathyrn, we only have one and for some of us it could be shortened. I love Kozy Shack pudding. And Olive Garden is nice. I use to give my my mom and her husband gift cards on Christmas to eat there. She had her husbands 60th surprise birthday there. I always liked their food. 72.00 is a lot ! But nice of your son to treat you to lunch. ❤️
