Hi @D2Dizzy The wonderful advice and tips shared by others here have been very helpful to me to get through the uncertainty and anxiety of my first chemo treatments. One thing that I've found works for me is to keep a simple daily record of what I eat and drink - comes in handy on those days when you have a bit of brain fog happening and don't know what you fancy or your taste buds are behaving oddly. Water can taste unpleasant some days and I've found that if I add a drop or two of blackcurrant juice which makes it more pleasant for me. And to help me remember how much I'm drinking I have 1 - 10 written down at top of page and tick a number off each time I fill up another glass. I also add the meds taken and my temperature - it just gives me a better understanding of my "new day to day" Smiles to you*!*
