What Food And Nutritional Supplement To Be Used During Chemotherapy?

Hi
I have a 2 year old boy who was clear cell sarcoma of kidney that first removed right kidney, then radiation and chemotherapy are now the protocol is ICE.
According to this protocol, and the side effects after 6 days injection G-CSF ampoules on blood WBC (2000) and PLT (50000) factor in serious decline. The doctor did not prescribe them certain drugs or nutritional supplements that are useful, I wanted the food to help his situation.
Thanks a lot

Hello dear , thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Cancer patients tend to have low immunity. And radiotherapy further decrease it.
So cancer patients are at great risk of infection.
And gastrointestinal infections are most common due to poor food hygiene.
So try to follow these.
1. High protein diet is recommended to build the immunity.
2. Also give him multivitamin tablet to avoid weakness.
3. Give him freshly prepared food only. No stale food.
4. Home made food is best as it is devoid of contamination.
5. Give him warm food only. As heating kills most of the organism.
I find this answer helpful
