I am not a doctor, so please don't take my suggestions without consulting.
However, in my opinion, greens are the best things for you.
I usually make smoothies with a powder called "Source of Life"
I has protein and all your daily vitamin needs and it also has all of the greens like blue-green algae, wheat grass, and spirulina. These are rich in oxygen and help feed your cells. They are known cancer fighters, so why not after chemo.
Well... good luck to you and best of health and life.

I am also not a physician but you can never go wrong with Omega 3 fatty acids. After chemo you will be on a liquid diet for a little bit and it is important you still get your body what it needs or you will be weaker than expected. Chemo is a tough think to go through but you are doing the right thing by trying to do everything you can in addition to whatever medication they will be subscribing to you.
