PCa symptom: Sweet Tooth?

[ArabianNights]

Well, this is something that I did not expect. I have read up on prostate cancer and palliative care, and I prepared to see a loss of appetite in my dad. Wow was I wrong! He has gone the complete other way and it is hilarious. His craving for sweets is through the roof. It's only noon but so far he's already eaten a muffin, two brownies, and chocolates. He spends majority of the day in bed but gets up to grab himself a sweet if we are too slow to get it to him.

My dad has always been extremely health conscious and I feel like he has let loose. I'm happy to see him enjoying everything.

Today also marks my parents 45th wedding anniversary. Advice on some yummy cakes to satisfy him?

La Dolce Vita. —I hope he enjoys every morsel!

What a Harum. Eating is good. Next week might be peppers and pickles. Dad should enjoy anything he wants right now. Someone here recommends chocolate chip ice cream, two scoops.

Our oncologist warned my Jeff that once he started Prednisone that he had the propensity to crave sweets. Jeff doesn’t “need help” craving sweets.

I’ve never been offered slices of pie more. May I suggest a yummy coconut or chocolate cream?! Delicious.

Happy 45th to your parents. Enjoy the celebration.

I would say it’s the steroids, but my dad has been on prednisone or dexamethasone for almost two years now. This is something new.

Let Jeff enjoy everything he wants! I hope you both are doing well and keeping positive.

I have been drinking my coffee black with no sugar for most of my life. All of a sudden I am adding a teaspoon of sugar to it.

At least it's not two teaspoons; yet.

Natural paths believe that cancer feeds on sugars. I cut all sugars upon dx.
