Just had chemo this morning. They had me keep ice chips in my mouth the whole time I was in my treatment. They say it will help prevent mouth sores.

Here's my advice (from someone who found it relatively easy, kept working and hiking etc throughout) - hydrate a lot during chemo, and keep exercising as much as you can right through.

I could only eat life saver gummies.Everything else made me grossly sick😢😮

I would add to take medication before it’s needed…for me I had fewer/less severe side effects. Also, communicate. Ask questions and let them know how you’re doing. Oncology nurses are angels.

Why not Sugar?

Sugar feeds cancer. New research is showing that high fat no carb with fasting is helping cancer patients.

It's been said that sugar feeds cancer cells.
