Foods to Look at If Going Through Chemotherapy

The dance performed last night on the tv show 'So You Feel You are able to Dance' was a tribute to those touched by breast cancer.

As I watched, it brought back memories. You see, four years ago, my mom was battling breast cancer.

During chemo treatment, it was difficult for her to keep food.

I was thinking when it was tough for her to even maintain down food due to the treatment side effects. Dad and I had been continually thinking of approaches to incorporate additional nutrients into her diet plan without making her feel icky within the stomach.

There are ways to help make food digestible or simple eat straightforward to breakdown food items.

Have you tried possibly mincing/dicing veggies and beef in having a soup dish? The rice soup is really a superior concept because it'll be less complicated to ingest.

Here are other foods that may possibly aid:

- Yogurt - I feel Yoplait will be the very best in terms of taste
- Fruit smoothies
- Fruit flavored water if she does not like to drink plain water
- Veggies (blended like making use of a Juiceman or some thing to the likes of that - V8 style)
- Different kinds of meat like chicken, beef, pork, etc. - but mince/cut to particularly modest pieces for her so she can chew easily
- Ensure/Vitamin supplement drinks especially for cancer patients - nurses may well have samples
- Vitamin supplements (pill version)

This is all I can think of for now. I'll see what else I can dig up that might be of enable you to.

You might desire to ask the nurses for any suggestions on this matter.
