Bumping this, in honour of Pink Ribbon Day on Monday 22 Oct.  When our friends and family are going through chemotherapy, we want to help, but it's stressful for the suffering person to try to share all the dietary restrictions and issues they have to contend with, at a time of great physical and emotional demand.  So I thank you, DD, for your leadership here and thanks also to the other forum members who have shared recipes that help nurture our Pink Ribbon ladies.

Just seen this.
So sorry Dot and hope that almost a year on you are in much better health.

I read a recpe this morning called nuts and bolts.

It is a very seasoned mix of nibbles, however when I tried to search  just now the search would not work at all.

I have a Nuts and Bolts recipe if you want it DJ, really easy and tastes better after a couple of weeks.

How are you getting on now Dot? 

[astarra]

Wow Cecilia, that is so interesting. Do you mind if I copy and send it to my MIL who's mother is batteling cancer?
TIA.

Of couse not, Astarra.  I am just beginning to learn about all this.  I have found this thread so helpful and I'm sure others have plenty of experience to share.  Keep calm and Think Pink!

That's was an interesting read however as a lifelong livestock farmer I strongly object to one statement.

"Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. "

That is such a misleading and blanket statement.
Beef and lamb produced in the UK and I am sure in other parts of the world too do not contain any of the above.
With pork it is probably best to know where it comes from and the same applies.
A scheme called FARM ASSURED checks all these things.

Very interesting about the microwave and plastic. Don't do it much but will change how I do that.

Dot - I certainly can't add any further suggestions to all the excellent  ones above - but I want to wish you well and all the strength you can muster to get through the treatment.  We're all here pulling for you!!

Dear friends, the info from John Hopkins is a hoax http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/kimmel_cancer_center/news_events/featured/cancer_update_email_it_is_a_hoax.html

Healthy eating is a good way to boost immune systems and fight illness but the info supposedly from John Hopkins is untrue.

[cecilia]

Thank you for your due diligence, Bonsai.  I deleted the message and apologise to you and other forum members for not having found the link you posted myself.  Thanks again.

My parents used to warn me: "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." 

[Bonsai]

No apologies necessary Cecilia - it's only because of my profession that I was rather suspicious of the claims made in the email and did a quick google search. Despite it being a hoax it is true that healthy eating and lifestyle can assist in preventing some cancers and will certainly boost the body's ability to fight illness.

Totally agree with you Jess!
There's a lot of misleading information about meat around.

I've just recently visited an Australian feedlot, with a view to comparing our system with that in the US and I've posted about it here -
