i tell people about graviola. it costs about $10 a bottle sent to your address. you take 2 tablets a day for two months and decide if it helps you. it has worked for three people i know of personally. you get it 818-882-2400 or go to physiciansformula.com.. this is word of mouth only but my niece had a mastectomy(both breasts). they finally told her they could do no more for her because her body could no longer tolerate chemo. i sent her two bottles of graviola to try. she took them for two months and so far ALL of her tests have com back clear of cancer..they had told her she had less than a year to live. i have no affiliation with phys. formula- i just buy thier product to keep cancer away and help my relatives get rid of thier cancer...so far 3. 2sisters and a niece..i don't know if it will work for everyone. it worked for them.

I assume she receives adjuvant chemo which cycles every 20 days, probably with carbo/cisplatin alone or in combination with paclitaxel. I would advise a pretty normal, healthy diet. The only changes she should make concern foods that she no longer tolerates. For example, most people on chemo cannot tolerate spicy foods. This type of chemo is also known to promote constipation. For that, having fruits, like prune, peaches and cherries is a good way to decrease the symptoms. If it does not work, she can be given some medication (Colace) to help her. Amount of fiber should be the same as normal, healthy diet. If she is taking iron supplements to maintain a good red blood cell count, you should know that this also causes constipation. Iron in this form is especially difficult to digest and should be taken in last resort. For an alternative, digestive-system-friendly iron source, look for red meat, and livers (yeww, I know; think of it as medication!) of all kinds (I was recommended rabbit liver especially). Also, she should eat often, and at fixed times, as her appetite allows. Chemo treatments often disturb the digestive system a lot, that's why most people lose a lot of weight during treatment. Eating often also tends to diminish nausea after a treatment.

I finished chemo a cople of months ago. I am a few years younger than your patient, but close in age. I would recommend those tiny fruit cups with peaches and pears and tiny pieces of cooked carrots and small servings of peas. Eating in small servings was a lot more tolerable for me when I was on AC. I also really enjoyed cheese and caesar salad. Hope that helps
