What's best kind of foods to eat if you are going though chemo for cancer?
A lot depends on how big the item isaluminum is great for carrying heat awayso if it's a small piece, a propane torch is capable of heating itbut if it's a substantial piece, you will need to get more seriousoxy acetylene is the most serious heat producer, but is rather expensive to set upIt gets plenty hot to melt right through the aluminum so be careful.
Mapp gas will work, but is slow(also less likely to burn a hole in your copper.) Oxy/acetylene is preferred, but of course, costs more to get set-up with the torch and tanks.
Brazing AL is next to impossible you need a TIG or MIG welder to do AL-sorry-
Well, you will ofcourse first need to be aware of your blood counts and if you are neutropenicThe best person to ask is going to be a dietician familur with your caseThere should be one available to you at your hosp or treatment centerAnd honestly, if you only want to speak to med professionals, thats where you need to goWhile there are some legit oncologists and nurses in this forum, anyone can pretend to be anything on the netI personally stayed nauseated the entire time I went through chemoMost will say that with the right med combo that shouldnt be a problem, but we never found the right combo for meBland carbs like potatoe and pasta was the best thing for my stomachThings like Boost or Ensure or other diet meal replacement shakes or bars are goodThey are high in calories and proteinEspecially try to get some of that if you arent able to keep regular food downOver all though, you are not going to find a diet that will keep your energy levels upThe chemo (and radiation you received in the past) is sooo hard on your body that you are going to be tired and exhaustedWhile you may not be consciously physically doing much, your body is working overtime to repair the damage from the treatmentThe best way to combat that is to pace your activities, take naps, and make sure you get atleast some exercise like even just walking every dayAlso remember that your body heals best when you are asleep.
