Hi there,
Are there any other South Africans on this thread and if so can I eat biltong whilst on chemo. I’m craving it so much but my son doesn’t think it’s a good idea as it is raw meat as such and salty.
Any thoughts ?
Jintz, don’t have any facts re biltong, but to be honest, raw meat doesnt sound great at the best of times! Your body has no ability to fight off bacteria at this time. I’ve relied on a web site for food info, ‘foodsforbreastcancer.com’. I think there’s a lot of good stuff on there, but it does not recommend either smoked meats or raw. Sorry, Jintz, but I think you’d best hang on until the treatment is over to satisfy your cravings. X
Thanks Anniej. Probably best. Not too long now anyway. How are you doing ?

Oh Niknaks! Hadn’t thought of them ! Thanks for that Daffodil54.
How are you doing ? I’m on day 4 of 2nd session and am wiped out. Feeling pretty useless to be honest. I have diahorrea, no energy and full of aches. Half way through so shouldn’t complain.
Take care
Jintz
I was given some travel sickness wrist bands which I have tried this afternoon which seem to be working so far. I believe beans and lentils are good for constipation. I definitely don’t have that problem but hope something works for you.
