&lt;p&gt;i was just wondering if anyone had any advice really on things she can eat or drink or tablets that she could take to help her to get herself built up.they dont know if they got all the cancer out when they took what thay found but they cant go any further until she is in a better state,any advice would be really really gratefully recieved.&lt;/p&gt;
