@gingerw ROFL all the things you mentioned i generally do anyways other than the dark leafy vegetables that i don't care how they are is just BLEECH i do eat a LOT of red meats, primarily venison, beef liver and beef... eat bacon and eggs pretty much EVERY morning sometimes eggs later in day too...what can i say...i like my farm fresh eggs lol i typically go through a couple doz a week by myself...i eat lots of fruits, take a cranberry supplement every day along with my turmeric, essiac, etc so get lots of vitamin c between that and the berries and other fruits i eat.. i can't do any artificial sweeteners or anything with high fructose corn syrup in it..so unless i make "junk food" i don't eat much of it at all... i do like my pork skins though lol... i like nuts but i have dentures and truthfully nuts are a pain with them.. but i do chop up black walnuts etc and eat them occasionally.. and i eat a lot of mushrooms as well (oyster, chestnut, baby bella, shitake etc), overall i eat pretty healthy...the nutritionist they put on my care team was amazed at my diet last time i went through this. She said that i was already doing everything right food wise that she could suggest other than the dark leafy veggies and that just ain't gonna happen...tried them every which way...nope just cant handle it... i found that shellfish (oysters, clams, scallops etc) helped me with the metallic taste from the chemo and i've already stocked my freezer with those lol...but even with what i ate the blood levels were super slow in building... in her opinion i made up for the greens in the amounts of liver and venison i ate...i tend to forage things and spring is coming so chickweed, jewelweed, clover etc will be going back into the diet...they are things i often snack on as i am rambling through the woods...
