Hello all, 

Hoping there maybe someone out there who has been through this type of chemo. 

So quick bit of back ground. Female, 41 at time of diagnosis. Oligodendroglioma grade 3. Found after seizure and had a craniotomy a few weeks later where about 50 to 60% was removed. Then had a few months to recover before receiving 33 rounds of radiotherapy. Now it's time for chemo... 

The thing that is really stressing me out at the moment is the foods I can not eat on this type of chemo. I've been told to have a tryamine free diet for the days I am taking the P part of PLV (formerly PCV) AND for 7 days after. So 17 days of a 42  day cycle. 

I am keen to come up with a meal plan to stick to in this time but am so confused about what I can and can not eat.... does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could include for a 7 day meal plan? 

I know it seems like a small thing to think about but if I put my time and effort into thinking about this I won't have to think about all the other bits going on... 

Thanks all.
