Hello everyone,
I am glad that we have a supportive community, and at the same time, I am sorry for the reason who brought us together.
My husband was diagnosed with CML just a few days ago and next week he will start imatinib.
I am a bit worried about what is he allowed to eat or not. I know he cannot have grapefruit and blood oranges, but what about oranges, lemons and limes?
The treatment weakens immunity, so I would like to start a diet of smoothies and juices. Any advice on greens, leaves and fruits to go on these drinks will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
