Those Popeye cartoons have a drop of truth in them.
I had two hospital stays and 4 transfusions due to low RBC while doing neoadjuvant chemo. To gear up for surgery I ate liver (fortunately I like fried liver and onions), spinach salads, kale, and some concoction recommended by a Chinese friend. That was quite tasty, it was a broth made from simmering beef bones, carrots, onions, those big white radishes, some herb (? something quai), and some bok choi at the end. We made a big pot of it and froze it in servings. I quite liked it.
Surgery was a breeze and my recovery was uneventful.
