Had my chemo teaching today…and of course one of the most important things is to eat… Any suggestions that worked well for y’all?

I’m extremely overwhelmed!!

How about mouth sores?

Anyone prescribed Letrozole? This was something that my doctor may want to add to my plan.

    Luensmann4,

    Try to take a breath. It is overwhelming but I am sure you are armed with a lot of information.

    I would agree that eating during it all is very important, and they probably mentioned they do not want you losing weight. I don't know if they have a dietician on the team who can talk to you, but protein is important. Is there anything they told you not to eat? For example I was told no on fruits and vegetables that were on the ground - watermelon/melons, mushrooms. Pre-washed lettuce and carrots were ok - but I was told not to wash those things. (or do gardening - no hands in any kind of dirt I guess) It was all about the protecting myself from any kind of infection. I think that is a little more extreme than others have been told as I never saw that here.

    Really, anything other than what I was told NOT to eat, I ate. Your appetite might change, so there is that fun as well.

    I never had mouth sores, but everyone is different and I don't know what the side effects are of Letrozole or what was shared with you.

    In the end, do not be afraid to call the office if you have questions. I promise you - you will surprise yourself.
