Members responded with empathy and encouragement to a question about how cancer treatment affects blood sugar, particularly after chemotherapy. Several members shared that chemo puts physical stress on the body, which can cause blood sugar levels to swing high or low, and one member noted that steroids like dexamethasone given during treatment can also raise numbers significantly. A recurring theme was community support through prayer and solidarity, with many members offering warm encouragement to keep fighting through the difficult journey.

I've been blessed with cancer treatments for 9 years.

Cancer sucks.
Cancer treatments suck.

But the treatments are better than letting Cancer win.

Praying. Praying. Praying. Still Praying.

I wouldn't use AI for answers as it can have "hallucinations" which is a term used for when AI quotes from websites that don't exist. Best do an ordinary Google search as someone above said and read information from trusted medical websites.
