Pomegranites, blueberries, strawberries,watermelon blackberries are about the strongest in antoxidents and cancer fighting nutrients!. I know when I was so sick before I went into remission I could not eat anything but fruit when I was on the heart pump and lidocaine!. I ate mosly melon, and pineapple!. I have now been turned on to Pomegranites!. I love the Pomegranite tea and also the Pomegranite-blueberry juice!. I will be praying for your husband!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to be aware of his white blood cell counts!. This is pretty big, so your doc should tell you about it if it is an issue, but I would ask just to be on the safe side!.
If his white blood cell count, specifically the absolute neutrophil count, drops too low, it is called neutropenia!. While a patient is neutropenic they are highly susceptable to infections!. There is a strict strict hygiene regimen that needs to be followed!. Mainly consistenting of very frequent hand washing, not being around other people, not being around anyone who is sick at all, and so forth!. But it also includes what is called the neutropenic diet!.
The neutropenic diet is that all meats must be cooked to temp, and no fresh fruits or veggies!. Fresh fruit and veggies naturally contain chemicals, bacteria, and fungi that cannot be completly washed off because it is actually in the fruit or veggie itself!. Organic wont have the chemicals, but will still have the bacteria and fungi!. For healthy people, that means nothing really!. But with a weak immune system, that could case massive and possibly fatal infections!. Canned or cooked are fine, but not fresh/raw!. Also including is that all dairy must be pasturized, no fresh herbs from the garden, no honey and definatly not the honey comb and a couple other things!.
This is not an issue for a lot of patients, but some patients are neutropenic for atleast a day or two, while I was neutropenic for 3-4 weeks at a time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't forget yogurt-it has pro-biotics, which are essential for your immune health!. However, if he is neutropenic, he may not be able to eat that also!. Best thing to do is consult with a nutritionist who specializes in cancer care!.
