So...I have been reading behind and nodding along, but now I am here to thank you all for the heads up on Chobani lower sugar and to report that there was PLENTY of lower-sugar lemon yogurt at my supermarket and I'm looking forward to trying it.

On Wednesday, Tim has a surgical procedure that I think is, best-case, meant to remove all the cancerous tissue. Because it's located around where his left tonsil used to be (he had his tonsils out as a kid, but the ENT says that it's not unusual for there to be some residual tonsillar tissue left), he's having the equivalent of a sort-of tonsillectomy.
The way this relates to the yogurt conversation is that he'll need soft food for a few-several days afterward, so the top shelf of our fridge is loaded up with lower-sugar blueberry, peach, vanilla, and strawberry yogurts.

Here to report that after a hard-target search I too have achieved Chobani Less Sugar Lemon (among other flavors).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Every time I have to get a follow-up procedure to remove a carcinoma or melanoma the surgeon always says, "Cancer's all gone!" after the procedure.
Which is mildly disturbing because I'm busy being in denial about it being cancer, but at the same time I appreciate the definitive statement and finality of it.
So, that's what I'm hoping Tim hears.
Also, I'm definitely having yogurt for breakfast. Our next F2F will clearly need a yogurt bar set up.

I am now giving the stink eye to our Kroger stores that don't have Chobani Less Sugar Lemon. This is ruining my assertion that we have food in Ohio year-round!
Oh Steph, I really hope they can get it all!!
That's the hope. I am sending out the Nunsignal again (or if you prefer a LotR reference, I am lighting the Nun Beacons) for extra-strength prayers that the surgery can remove all the cancerous tissue.
Even if the surgery does remove it all, I think Tim may still have radiation to reduce the risk of recurrence. But we won't know that until next week, when we meet with the oncology team.
