I wish I had done more of that when I had chemo. I might not have gotten so weak and out of shape if I had.<br /><br />If your friend has chemo and gets nauseated from it, try salty food. Chips and crackers and popcorn really worked for me when nothing else did. Also, start by eating cold or cool foods first then work up to the warmer things on the tray. That was helpful also. <br /><br />And, finally, survival is about attitude. Help your friend make up their mind to just do whatever it takes to survive the process and let the rest sort itself out later. Two years later and I'm still sorting things out, but, well, at least I'm here to sort them.<br /><br />It's not cheap, but M.D.Anderson provides the best care imaginable for cancer patients. There's nowhere better to be.<br /><br />And, finally, for you, make sure that the caregiver gets taken care of, too. That's very important.Network Geekhttp://www.ryumaou.com/hoffman/netgeek/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9953222.post-2814237002137216752009-10-09T09:59:57.601-06:002009-10-09T09:59:57.601-06:00I had a friend diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer ye...I had a friend diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer yesterday.
