Due to cancer cells liquid in the wall of the lung, whilst on tarceva (erlotinib) will sweets be a danger to my health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enjoy your sweets: At this stage, you should feel free to enjoy your life, whether it's sweet stuff, the company of friends and family, the comforts of meaningful work, play, and spirituality -- whatever seems good and right to you. Refined and other sugars did not cause your cancer and are not aggravating it.
