Also, once her immune system has declined from
the chemotherapy and radiation, she'll have to
avoid sources of infection. I believe this will
rule out raw fruit and vegetables, maybe some
other stuff. There might be special requirements
for cooking fruit and vegetables to an acceptable
level of safety. There are organisms in the
household environment that will survive pressure
cooking for 45 minutes at 15 lbs., though I don't
think these ones are dangerous.
