Re: How much protein?

Hi Mtngrl,

When I started chemo I consulted with a naturopath who specialized in working with cancer patients (being a survivor himself). He reviewed my diet and recommended adding an egg per day for extra protien and protien smoothies. He also recommended a few other things to help with the effects of chemo on my gut but I can't remember what they all were (not from chemo brain just moving on after treatment)
You might want to try this kind of tailored approach to support yourself during treatment. This is a tough time for you so treat yourself as well as you can and before you know it it will be behind you

All the best

Henny
