This is a serious questions needing serious answers. Goofy answers need not apply!!!.?


Question:
My daughter(17) was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma this year and just got finished her radiation treatment Tuesday. I need meal ideas after radiation treatment. She can't have green veggies nor corn. Any ideas except the goofy ones will be accepted. thanks in advance.
P.S Websites would be helpful too.

Answers:
It is difficult to plan meals for cancer patients that have had chemo or radiation because the taste in their mouth is a metallic one and it is difficult to eat. Your daughter will just have to let you know what she thinks she can eat, because she will not have any cravings for food. Everyday she will just have to think about what she might can eat and this will change by the hour. However, she will be able to eat cool or barely warm food the best. She needs to stay out of the kitchen when you are cooking because the smell will turn her off. That is why cool or barely warm food is easier to eat - it doesn't give off the odor. On the days she really can't think of something to eat, make her a milkshake and try to get her to eat something a few hours later. For some reason, food with tomatoes are easier to eat... I think it's because it covers up the metallic taste in your mouth. Good luck and I pray for a full recovery for your daughter.
i am not sure i would think that bland carbs would be best like potatoes and pasta. but try www.recipezaar.com and see if they dont have foods that fit into what you think. they have a large vegan section but not sure if thats what you are looking for but i would at least try it out.
