Re: diet while on chemo
I really didn't think there were things not to eat. Obviously, if you can, you should choose nourishing foods - veggies, fruit, whole grain, fish, chicken. But, you never know what you are going to feel like and what will taste good to you. Believe it or not, I met a woman who finished chemo just as I was starting mine (6 years ago we did not get TCH but AC followed by taxol and Herceptin wasn't approved yet) - this woman could only eat popcorn. Go figure!
I would be interested in what you shouldn't eat as perhaps we could give some insight to the list.
