Day +218: Balanced Diet

I am fine today.

Continue the discussion about diet for people with cancer. I experience significant weight loss during the chemo treatment. From 57kg , dropped to 42kg, about 15kg weight loss. My family imposed dietary restriction which I call extreme. I just don't have appetite for such food. Research show about 20% cancer deaths are not due to cancer itself, but rather due to weight loss. It is important that people with cancer eat well, to have energy to fight the infection.

I ask for better menu, with 5 meals a day, I have gain weight to 51kg.
