Eating Well with Blood Cancer - Ask the Nurses

Hi @AMLucy

Thanks for your comment.

I can see you’ve had some great advice already from Emma :slightly_smiling_face: I just wanted to also share a link also to this older thread that I found on the forum where people are discussing what they have eaten, after a stem cell transplant in case it helps with ideas for things you might like too: Awaiting or considering or had a stem cell transplant, a place to share here - Going through treatment - Blood Cancer UK Online Community Forum

As Emma mentions, it is individual to the person but some of the ideas I’ve picked out from here is - follow your cravings (someone really wanted raspberries for example), fish in parsley sauce as a good ‘bland’ food and one person really liked lemon sherbets. There are others as you read through the thread.

There is also a mention of ‘clean diet’ which is introduced in our booklet about stem cell transplants, which you can download or order here: Blood-stem-cell-bone-marrow-transplants-seven-steps-seven-0617.4.pdf (shopify.com) It says that guidelines and restrictions vary from unit to unit, so you could also ask your clinical nurse specialist (CNS) about this when you speak to them too.

Hope this helps and take good care of yourself.
Kind regards,
Ali
