Hi Bernie,
2 years ago when first diagnosed I did a lot of research and decided to give up all dairy, red meat, tea, coffee, alcohol, sugary things, fizzy drinks, and ate more vegetables, fruit, soya products and soya milk, herbal teas, pasta, rice, fish, organic chicken and turkey.
But since I lost all the weight following surgery, the dietician and my oncologist have said I must build myself up in order to be strong for further treatment, so I am trying to eat a little dairy to get more protein, but as its been so long since I had dairy I find it makes me a little nauseous so I am returning back to soya. I am reluctant to eat too many sugary things as sugar is not good for cancer.
I hope you tolerate the chemo Bernie, I do remember when I was on that one that I did get aches in my legs and felt very tired, the anti sickness tablets did help with preventing me being sick. You may well lose your hair, but there are so many nice hats and scarfs and the upside of it is that you will not have bad hair days for a while!!! :)
Ginger tea and ginger capsules are good for helping keep the sickness at bay.
God bless, I will be thinking of you on Wednesday,
Your friend,
Lin
