OK, so first off, I'm not a medical professional and everything I'm going to mention has been run by my oncologist. You should always check with your doctor before making any dietary changes or adding an alternative therapy to your routine.
Please also note, these are things that have help me out over the last several years. They may not work for everyone, but maybe a few of you can find some value in them.
That said, let's go!
Hair that's going to fall out:
Drugs like Taxol and Taxotere (and others) almost always cause hair loss. I've lost my hair a couple times and I can tell you this - it can be traumatic (even if you think you're prepared). So, here's what I suggest:
1. Cut your hair short before you start. Try that edgy or adorable pixie you've been too nervous to try. What have you got to lose. It will get you used to having less hair and it's awesome in the summer.
2. Baby your hair. Don't wash it every day. Don't brush it too often or use a lot of product. When you do wash it, use a gentle shampoo that is easy on the scalp. Your scalp will be sensitive when the hair is getting ready to go. It can also get itchy.
3.The shower is where you're going to lose the most and it's easier when there is less to lose. You'll usually notice the worst around 2 to 3 weeks.
4. This is the big one - have a close friend/or hairdresser on standby for when you need them. When your hair starts to really fall out, it's scary. You're going to want to shave it off and having a trusted friend when you need them it a lifesaver.
5. Get some cute (soft) caps that you can where and have them ready before you start chemo. Amazon has some great ones. Bigger Artsy or sparkly earnings with also help your look great when your hair is not a focal point.
6. Not everyone is going to want to wear a wig. Sometimes your head can be itchy or sensitive, or it's just a pain. Wait until you have lost your hair before you spend good money on a wig. Inexpensive, colorful, cosplay wigs are always a fun option when you're feeling funky.
Mouth Sours:
1. Oil Pulling: This is something that has helped with Avastin. The first time I woke up with bleeding blisters on my tongue, I thought I would lose my mind. The magic mouthwash and salt water rinses weren't helping. Here's what I do:
3/4 tsp of coconut oil (it will melt immediately in your mouth) 1 little dab of minty toothpaste - swish around in your mouth for 15 to 30 minutes.
*Note - saliva will build up as you do this, you may have to spit a little out as you do. crumble up some paper towels in the trash and spit into them. You don't want to put oil down the drain.
*Note 2- this can make your teeth sensitive (and a little whiter). I do it the day of chemo and for a next 2.
Since I started this, I don't get mouth sores anymore. Sure, my mouth still gets sensitive, but not more sores, blisters, or bleeding.
Skin:
Breakouts: When I am on chemo, my chest, face, and jawline break out. I have found that using an exfoliating acne wash works wonders. I use Neutrogena® Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash and I swear by it. If I start before the chemo starts, I never breakout. If I wait, it takes about 1-2 weeks to clear up. There may still be some small pimples that hang around, but nothing I have to cover up or be self conscious about.
Sunburn:
My skin gets so sensitive in the sun during chemo, but I love to swim. Here's what I have found.
1. swim shirts: they have saved my summer! I use long surf shirt from Lands End that are comfortable, light, dry quickly, and are quite cute. My shoulders, arms, and back stay protected and I look darn stylish. 
2. Brimmed hat/baseball cap: I always were a hat. If I wear a baseball cap, I have a thin headband that I put on to cover my ears. Sunburned ears are awful.
3. Broad spectrum light weight, 35 or better face sunscreen: Spend the money and cover your face, neck, chest, hands, feet and ears with the good stuff. Your skin is invaluable, take care of it. Ovarian cancer is bad enough, why risk any type of skin cancer as well.
Tummy trouble, constipation, and acid reflux:
1. I eat every morning, even when I don't feel like it. It makes me feel instantly better. I learned this early on. Empty stomachs feel worse than full ones. But make sure you're feeding yourself good food. Bananas, oatmeal, avocado whole grain toast, granola are all good choices. Try and stay away from anything fatty or greasy.
2. Heartburn and Acid Re flux: Zantac (Ranitidine) has become my best friend. After finding out that heartburn/re flux can land you in the hospital with chest pains mimicking a heart attack or clot, I learned that the right antacid can save you pain and lots of trouble. I take it twice a day if I'm got symptoms and once a day when symptoms are gone throughout the chemo regimen.
3. Constipation: Ok, so depending on your drug/steroid combo, you may be experiencing constipation/ diarrhea, or both. This is for constipation (as it has helped me). MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol 3350) is my go to powder. I use it once a day and add it to my smoothies, oatmeal or juice. It is not harsh on the body and keeps my bowels moving. I start the day before I start chemo and take it once a day until I feel back to normal (anywhere from 3 to 9 days) Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and eating a good amount of fiber.
And again, always check with your doctor.
Food for healing:
Eat more - Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, greens, lots of fresh water and de-caf tea. ***All of these foods are health promoting and aid in boosting your immune system. Try to add them to you meals and crowd out the junk food.
Eat less - processed meats, cheese, candy, chips, sugary treats, pasta, soft-drinks, and coffee. None of these over processed foods will help you recover faster, try to cut them back when possible.
Exercise:
If it is at all possible, move a little every day. On chemo days, I go home and take a nap and then I get up and walk. Even if it's just around the parking lot. The hard part is getting off the couch, but it's like eating breakfast, once I make the decision to do it, I feel much better.
I don't always make it to the gym, but I can usually walk at least 20 minutes every day. I'll tell you what, even when I feel crappy, I feel less crappy if I can walk. And if I can grab a friend to join me, it's even better.
Well, I hope that you found something helpful in my (long) list of recovery tips. Over the last 11 years, I've learned a lot. And just a little about me: I was diagnosed in 2007 at age 39 with low grade serous carcinoma, ovarian 3c. Longest remission 7 years. Currently on Cisplatin, Gemcitabine, and Avastin. Other than the cancer, I'm a pretty healthy chic
