What I ate during chemo

I'm Italian, and food is my world. So when I started chemo, I wasn't going to let eating become one more thing that was done to me.

This is what I ate during chemo. It's my plate, not a plan for yours.

A green juice every morning

Celery, cucumber, ginger, lemon, leafy greens. Every morning, treatment days included. I checked it with my team first, and stayed away from grapefruit and anything that could interact with my drugs.

Cooking on good days for the bad ones

On the good days, I cooked ahead for the rest days, for me and for Ken. The bad days never depended on anyone having the energy to cook.

Eating what I'd actually eat

Some days my stomach only wanted Coke Zero and salty olives. I let it. Small and often beat perfect and never.

Nothing about this season needs to be perfect.

What changed after

What I cut and what I added once treatment ended is a different story, and it's in my free toolkit.
