not too personal @chipper , I was under a lot of pressure from the allopathic doctor and my mom and ultimately I chose to have surgery to remove my whole thyroid, I also did radioactive iodine treatment. I've been cancer free for 5 years now.
I blogged about that experience back then and maybe I will tell more of the story here on steemit. I've also been thinking about writing about my choice to go ketogenic but haven't started to write it up yet.
I think it feels really good to be off carbs, I do let myself have some good treats now and again but I stick to paleo style treats, with almond and tapioca flours and only honey or maple syrup for sweetener.
Thanks for writing back!
