But it's always been something that's been very special to me.

So I continued eating that healthy diet.

And even in the days when I didn't really feel up to it, you know, the chemotherapy changes how things taste in your mouth.

It's very metallic.

Oftentimes you get sores.

And with the type of treatment I had, you have a bunch of mouth sores, so it hurts.

So, but this is the blessing in this is I know what that was like.

So when I sit down with patients, I can be very mindful and think, okay, I know where she's at in this treatment.

I see how she's talking to me.

Her mouth obviously hurts.

Let's touch on this and let's figure out some food swaps or maybe she's having scrambled eggs with cheese on a piece of white bread with butter and a piece of turkey sausage, you know?

that's not the end of the world, probably, but there's a lot healthier way that I would like that woman to eat.

So I'll do a swap.

I try to flip what she's eating in a way that it's still something she's accustomed to, something that she looks for something more savory.

She's not looking for something sweet in what she usually eats.

And we'll give her something a little bit healthier to eat that would be maybe more in line with her cancer treatment to give her some of the phytonutrients that comes from plants that can help to make her feel better and maybe even improve those treatment outcomes.

Yeah.

You know, acceptance.

You can't fight it.

You have to accept it.
