» Foods smell bad & black skin patches?

Hello, My mother was earlier suffering from breast cancer in May'07. She got her treatement and was curing when suddenly it occurred again. Now it has gone into lungs (partial). Could you please assist me with the diet she should intake as she doesnt like anything to eat and complaints about bad smell in food. And she has also got some black patches all over her body. She has gone through chemotherapy and radiotherapy both earlier.

» Chemotherapy

My mother has just been diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes, they are not sure yet if it is the slow progressing one or the fast. What I want to know is, my mother is 83 is she considered too old for chemo. She has always been a fighter, having a double heart by-pass two and a half years ago and came through that with flying colours. Is there a cut off age for treatment.

I would like to know which foods and/supplements would benefit my husband following lymph gland removal. I know that antioxidants would be beneficial along with foods with antioxidant properties. Can you give me any further advice also for nutritional needs during chemotherapy should he be advised to have this treatment.

I have now been put on Valcade and Dexamethasone. I replapsed after 7 months after having Thalidomide. Paraprotein shot up from 7 after treatment to 26. Question is if I take Floradix to try to keep up my white blood cells would it interfere with my Chemo ? Or would I be wasting my time. Any particular foods I could home on? I know liver is good and Watercress but it is not available where I am. Red meat I know but I am not a big meat eater.
