What kinds of foods are helpful during cancer treatment?

Food and nutrition are very important when undergoing cancer treatment. Some people have difficulty keeping things down, but there's always water and hydration is huge. It's really important, and so I suggest drinking as much water as you can all through the cancer treatment. And if you need protein, have some protein powder in a smoothie with lots of crunched up ice. And then a little bulk depending on how you feel, maybe go for a banana, get some bulk in there so that you have some nutrition, whatever nutrition you can get down. I'm big on chicken soup too as a helpful food when going through cancer treatment.
