Because of nutritional help my blood counts never got low enough to worry about. I also took supplements with mushrooms and the other things I mentioned in my first post on this subject. I ate raw fruits and vegetables, especially in salads and I still do a fair amount of juicing. I take probiotics. Maybe that has an impact on how my body digests food. I don't know. My oncologist does not know anything about nutrition, so I can't ask him, but my naturopathic physician has been a big help. I also learned alot about nutrition from other medicial professionals, including dieticians. I probably eat healthier now than before I got cancer.
