How do I eat to stay healthy through Chemo?

I dont know how to get good food to keep my health up during chemo. I can only afford 1 or 2 cheap meals a day, and cant afford to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Starving everyday isnt good for cancer I am sure, but the pension doesnt leave any money left over for food after paying rent. I applied for housing, but i think I will die before i get to the top of the long five year waiting list! There has been no help from social services, and I wonder how many others are starving while going through chemo?
