Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry that we were not able to get back to you before your appointment today!

We have a page on our website called prehabilitation before and after chemotherapy treatment. Trying to eat a varied diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables is a good idea. Do try and drink at least 2-3 litres of fluid a couple of days before treatment and for a few days afterwards. This helps flush the drugs through your system and helps maintain healthy kidneys. Taking regular exercise can help boost your mental and physical health.

As I am not sure which drugs you are having you would need to check with the oncology team whether there were any foods that you should avoid.

I hope your first treatment went well. Do get back to us if you would like to discuss this or anything else.

Our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday 9 am to 5pm.

All the best,

Catherine
