I have just started chemo--5FU and Oxilaplatin and leuvorcin for 6 months, 2 weeks apart---I want to take an immunity booster from the Health food store inbetween treatments and am getting different opinions from everyone....any advice??? If not, how do I help myself get stronger after chemo?????
About one month before I began Chemotherapy, I too, wanted to boost my immune system. I started taking flaxseed. Along with this, I ate several small meals a day and rested a lot. I did not eat hardly any red meat but did eat lots and lots of green vegetables, especially kale (have a good recipe if you would like it). I was never nauseated during chemotherapy. Tired, yes. Good Luck!
