Eric,

There are many things that I think can honestly build your immune system. Granted chemo takes its toll on you physically and sometimes the energy it takes to make yourself do things to help is hard. I know we have talked about supplements and nutrition so I won't go there. The number one thing is exercise. Even if she is only able to walk 20 minutes a day that is enough - as long as it is brisk enough that her heart rate increases. Accupunture and a huge dose of laughter can help. She needs adequate sleep at night during the right hours and a method to reduce stress - whether it is yoga or mediation. I worked on building my immune system through my chemo treatments. It was not easy changing old habits but it was worth it in the end.
Please let me know if you would like any additional food recipes etc...be glad to help.
Peace, Ruth
