The issue of food appears not to be very clear. Some school of thought will say do not eat meat, sugar etc, another says you can eat these. For me, I eat them but moderately. Moderately from fear lol...

Hello,

The chemo I am on is not affecting my eating but the radiation treatments after 2 weeks have significantly affected my eating. I can only eating cream soups and ice cream at present, or anything very creamy and soft. I crave flavor which has diminished significantly as well.

I always try to focus on foods that nourish my body and help with recovery. I’ve found that a light, balanced meal with protein is great. For example, before a treatment, I like a smoothie with organic whey protein powder, which is a great source of clean protein, and it helps me feel energized without feeling too heavy. Afterward, I usually go for something soothing like a vegetable soup or grilled chicken with quinoa to replenish my energy. It’s important to listen to your body, so I always choose what feels best for me. What do you usually eat before or after treatment?
