Yes, doing good so far, but so confused about eating lots of fruits and vegetables which I love. I have been reading a lot. Seems like even frozen organic fruits and vegetables should be boiled for 1-2 mins in case there are bacteria in them. I used to eat apples with skin mostly organic or from local market, I just read that the skin is very beneficial because it contains urologic acids which slows down cancer tumors. So do you know how long to boil the apples with skin on after wash them and how long to soak them in a solution. Do you have a solution .;..?….?of baking soda and vinegar. I had not eating very much meat or chicken but today brought some organic extra lean hamburger meat and organic chicken legs. The Dr was very firm for me not to lose weight, get enough protein.;He wants me to gain a little weight.Even though I am 4ft 91/2 inches and was 141 when weighed at clinic. But last spring was 157, went on a weight loss program, lost 11lbsbs, then 6 more since January. Today I am 143.6. Then some people tell me certain foods could interact with chemo and some could even make cancer cells stronger during chemo. Do you know of any of this. Even chia seeds which I have been using forever. Now found out that I should cook them first. So this morning I put a tbsp in my frozen berries that I cooked to put in my oatmeal. Also chia seeds could thin your blood.I get my next chemo March 31/26 and blood work and see the Oncologist on the 27 March, hopefully all that will be good. This is all so new to me and I want the best possible outcome so I am trying to educate myself. Thank you for any response you have
