TY 4 this info. I did not experience nausea nor vomiting during chemo. I still have full bottles of nausea med.'s prescribed by my oncologist. The only things that changed 4 me, I could not eat spicy foods. Today is Jan 28, 2024, my last day of chemo was May 2023. I am still building my spice tolerance. I love spicy food so much 2. Healing and peace 2 all.
Hi all this is really helpful i have breast cancer only had two rounds of chemo so far but in this second cycle i I'm feeling weak i have lost my appetite and I do feel i have lost weight. What i have understood is we need more protein foods juicing helps doing a green juice gives the body everything. Also add garlic or ginger I don't eat much but I drink green tea 3 tae bags very good for cancer and my Dr told me to drink 3 bags i drink green tea twice a day. Lemon water though out. And i eat banana's which helps me when I'm feeling sick. I cooked red rice as its high in fiber with kale, spinach, broccoli and fish for dinner then had the same food for breakfast with a boiler eggs and avocado if i still feel hungry i will have some blueberries with natural yoghurt or have a small pack of chips or dark chocolate. You must also go for a walk or go to the gym i also have a sauna or steam, woman need to work on building muscle light weight which really helps the body. My food intolerance has changed but chemo takes out everything from the body so we have to build the body up i don't do sugar.or bread, cake, etc, ect this will really help you and i don't drink soft drinks so far I'm eating twice a day. With fruit's for later.
I had a painful bowel obstruction my first week of chemo. Thereafter I ate only foods that worked well with my chemo compromised gastrointestinal system: fruit and veggies, beans and legumes, ground meats, cottage cheese, smoothies and protein shakes. And lots and lots of water. Chemo is very dehydrating.
Hi. I started chemo with the similar concoction yesterday ……. I have paired my treatment with Japanese Acupuncture. Thank you Dr. Amy for your information as it is extremely helpful.
4.5 months, 16 chemo treatments, lost 25lbs . No matter what I ate tasted like burnt food. Force feeding was awfut. Burnt wood taste lasted 1 year,8 months after total chemo.
I whent through 10 weeks of kemo five days a week and war a pump for 6 months after my surgery. I whent home sick every day couldn't eat someone told me weed helps and it did a lot . It would get rid of the nausea and would eat.
I've had 16 chemo sessions so far for esophageal/gastric Cancer...Lately I have cravings for mashed potatoes and chocolate...that's about the only things that don't cause dysphagia;so I'm eating then almost exclusively(With Cream Of Wheat and Oat Bran often). I've lost 56 Lbs since my treatment begin...from 228 to 172 Lbs....I feel a bit guilty because of consuming of carbs.
Thank-you Dr Amy❤ this is very helpful. I've been eating a lot more protein. Also more carbs before chemo. I figure my appetite will be poor days of and @ 5 days after chemo, atleast so far.
I would argue the keto diet, intermittent fasting and water only fasting will help with many of the side effects. You don’t really snack with a well run keto diet. I know it doesn’t sound fun, but fun is lit the goal, best outcomes are the goal
only had one EC session, Mineral water 24 hours before helped to make it easy, then during the day of chemo, 24 hrs just water. It really helped me. I just hope it works for the second one.
natural electrolytes with zero sugar are a good way to stay hydrated. and carbonated spring or mineral water helps stop the spread of cancer allowing oxygen to enter the cancer cells to destroy it
Dr. Office called and stopped chemo. I have COPD and it intensified my shortness of breath. I struggle to breathe now. The office said they didnt know i had lung issues. Yes they did. I filled out a medical health info. I even told them about my issues. Covid caused bad scarring in my lungs. So now I'll either stop breathing or the cancer will spread fast. I should of never had chemo.
I did, but I asked for them just to be prepared. I'm on week 12 of chemo and have not taken any. I have slight nausea on day 4 after chemo and find sipping on ice water and/or chewing a piece of peppermint gum helps. For reference, I am receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments during this phase.

@ I’m pairing my chemo with mushroom and cannabinoid therapy.
4.5 months, 16 chemo treatments, lost 25lbs . No matter what I ate tasted like burnt food. Force feeding was awfut. Burnt wood taste lasted 1 year,8 months after total chemo.
I’m losing a lot of weight from 208 to 159. I’m on maintenance chemo for my multiple myeloma. Just starting to get my appetite back.
Wishing you all the best!!! ❤️

What's recommended for someone with Type 1/Fragile diabetes? Many of the foods recommended could not be eaten.
This all depends on what actual drugs you're given and bears no relationship to my experience at all
What is best for sores in mouth from chemo
Honey helps with sores in mouth
Ice chips day of treatment
Salt and baking soda, swish, swish spit out.
Honey and mouth wash
Magic mouth wash, ask your dr to prescribe that and your pharmacy will make it for you.
I would argue the keto diet, intermittent fasting and water only fasting will help with many of the side effects. You don’t really snack with a well run keto diet. I know it doesn’t sound fun, but fun is lit the goal, best outcomes are the goal
Thoughts of fasting before chemo?
Works for me
Doctor said I should eat well before coming
only had one EC session, Mineral water 24 hours before helped to make it easy, then during the day of chemo, 24 hrs just water. It really helped me. I just hope it works for the second one.
Thank you for this video rhis will help a lot.God bless❤🙏

I eat a veggie pizza after chemotherapy. I hope this is not gonna kill me.

I'm sorry that has happened. I prayed for you.
Really need this info ...Tq Dr...❤
Dr. Amy, very informational,
Thank you
Do people taking chemo get nausea pills I’ve never heard it once on any of these programs of people getting nausea pills
I did, but I asked for them just to be prepared. I'm on week 12 of chemo and have not taken any. I have slight nausea on day 4 after chemo and find sipping on ice water and/or chewing a piece of peppermint gum helps. For reference, I am receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments during this phase.
@@piglet2928 how many times a week do go to hospital for chemo is it every day
@user-it5ub8gq6e My first 12 weeks was every Friday. I just started my 2nd 12 weeks on this past Friday and this round will be every 3 weeks.
Yes they get lots
Easy to say......no appetite , heart is pain 24 hours ...still ,i have to do 4 and radiation ..😢😢😢😢😢
My Dr told me to “eat anything I want”. No restrictions.
Do you feel like that is sound advice?
@@dramycancerrecovery I don’t. I feel like we need to have another conversation.
I was told the same.. not much help 😢😢
@@pamelaroberts-w6r I was on a Mediterranean diet when this cancer popped up, so I’m just going to keep following it!
What about fasting on chemo days???
That is what I do. I fast the day before the day of and the day after. It limits the amount of side effects.
@@xzookeeperwow that’s good. You are so smart and strong ❤❤❤
I don’t think she knows what she is talking about.
@@Paragon62😂
@@xzookeeperthe doctor told me to eat well before coming for the chemo. I’m confused
Hey dr amy. Are you sure anyone should actually be receiving chemo therapy? Diet is important, but why in conjunction with chemo?
Thanks Amy
Thank u doc🙏

Teati
I wonder if you would like to look intermittent fasting. Also if you have a little money and your son has a glioblastoma, please look into full spectrum cannabis oil.
Do you have any thing for me during treatment to eat .
For men going through treatment
It’s the same for men. Eat whole foods. No greasy fried foods.
Obviously you have never been on chemo. You are so full of it.
She said it on the video that she went through Chemo also.
She’s been through chemo.
Food for chemo
Where do I go to get diagnosis ? I think I have it my dr says I’m fine
You need referral to a cancer center
@@shirlburris-fg8eq not with my doctor he wont
my doctor was wrong saying that I am in good health. In my case x-ray stated a state 4 lung cancer. Go to a specified doctor for a check.
How about those of us on targeted therapy?
Extremely useful n scientific input.. thank you dr. anyway i can have a direct talk with you? WhatsApp or skype or imo..me too a doctor
I’m losing a lot of weight from 208 to 159. I’m on maintenance chemo for my multiple myeloma. Just starting to get my appetite back.
