Hi Tanya
I want to know if I can give my wife Pasta for a change.She has had her chemos and her 9th herceptin is due on the 21st

If your wife enjoys pasta I think it might be okay. Of course multi grain or wheat pasta has more nutrition, but regular pasta is okay.We all should be able to enjoy an occassional treat.

Pibikay,
Pasta is absolutely fine to provide your wife for a change. I agree with Elaine regarding whole grain pasta providing better quality nutrition. However, if she doesn't like whole grain pasta you can use regular but may want to serve it with plenty of vegetables and a good source of protein. A trick I use with my children is to use 1/2 regular and 1/2 whole grain.
