Sentinel lymph nodes removed - Chemo & Radiation treatment
I have my first appointment with Oncologist next week and I'm writing down any questions that pop into my hear and seeking useful tips from others who can offer suggestions for what helped during day ...
@arpie Thank you for the additional links
@Afraser I've been searching on line re diet and recipes info for both conditions. The info I've been reading has been posted by cancer institutes rather than individuals - I guess I've become more confused after this infection kicked in - my neutrophills had dropped to below 1 and I read that raw vegetables posed a greater bacterial threat to the immune system - and that cooked veg was safer. I just want to make sure that what I eat keeps me well nourished and on track for the treatments - I feel like I'm on the start line and have had two false starts getting to my second chemo. Thanks for letting me know about the fish being good for you over the years - I'm sticking with the fish!
@iserbrown Thanks for the additional link - re the lamp drainage - did you have that whilst having chemo or did you have to wait until chemo finished?
