If prolonged, you must look for new food choices that may be better tolerated. There is no particular food that you should avoid. It is important to have a well balanced diet, one that is high in protein, mineral and iron. Proteins are needed for cell building. This is important because chemotherapy retards the process of normal cell division.
Proteins also accelerate cell growth.
Examples of food that are high in protein are meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, peanut butter and nuts, yoghurt and seafood. Food supplements such as Complan, Ensure, Sustagen or Sustain are useful if you are unable to eat a balanced meal. It is also helpful to eat frequent small meals and light snacks. Make sure that you eat in a comfortable position. Serve foods attractively.
