I’ll have an occasional red wine but haven’t had a beer since diagnosis mainly to lose weight. Trying to control portions. Previously a pizza night would be 5 or 6 pieces. No more. It’s especially tough to be doing this here in The Villages as my wife and I would eat out often at the town squares but I guess that was part of my problem. We still eat out but not as often and I’m very selective on what I order (salads, chicken, meats, etc.). Lost about 14 pounds in under a month. Any useful tips from anyone else in a similar situation would be appreciated.

Doctor told me I had it years ago. I changed nothing and now With another doctor I don’t seem to have it anymore. I realize I am in the minority but I feel some doctors would just like to see us more with these “ pre” diagnosis. The Dermatologists are another group hawking their Pre Cancerous diagnoses with seniors wearing their bandages as badges of honor. A lot of over the counter products may just be better. I am 95% “cured” of my “Pre Cancerous” keratosis which I had for 30 years and had at least 10 MOHS surgeries. I used a newly found Over the counter product and in just 30 days it is almost completely gone.
Enjoy yourself, it is later than you think but perhaps not as late as you think. It could result in paralysis through analysis.
