Hi all
I'm approaching my final chemo at the end of the month and have followed the advice about cutting out certain foods while having the chemotherapy.
What I'm wondering is how long after finishing the chemo can I reintroduce the foods, I'm especially missing my dippy eggs!

Hi Sbird
It's a great feeling as you approach the end of chemo. I hope your last chemo goes well.
Perhaps check with your CNS as it may be affected by your latest blood results. I know for me it took a while for my bloods to get back into the normal range. I was neutropenic for a bit longer.
Also remember that if your chemo cycles are 21 day then you will be post final chemo 21 days after the last infusion.
For a general answer you could ask one of the nurses on the Support Line.
