Deli meat and cheese

Hey guy,
2nd last doxetaxol chemo is a bitch yo say the least. Taste buds worse than round one..
So can you eat deli meat or meat from packets or soft cheeses? Im clutching at straws. Nothing is appealing to me
Thanks in advance xxxx

  • Hi there @Trikki2 I had my taste affected but I had AC and paclitaxol. I made beef chow mein the whole way through treatment it was the only thing I really liked to eat. It was the salty bitterness of the soy and oyster sauce I enjoyed. I would throw a heap of Veges  in it and freeze a heap. Ilaso was keen on the mt franklin sparkling flavoured water the lemon flavoured one as I couldn’t stand normal water. I was told to eat fat and carbs too as I was lost 10kg on chemo (one of the perks lol) packed it back on again now though unfortunately. Give the above a try might work for you. Margie. X

  • Hey there 
    Im finished pacitaxol and now onto doxetaxol. 
    Thanks hun xx
  • My BC nurse told me to eat whatever appealed to me, even if it was unhealthy. I thought this was a bit weird as I am certainly not underweight. I am on paclitaxol not doxetaxol. Not sure if it makes a difference. However I do understand that if you are not eating anything it makes things worse so I will agree with my BC nurse.
  • That was my GP's suggestion and I liked eating it more and more as TC went on. But honestly, by the end of it I was completely off food and was only eating for nutrition...
  • Yes thats what i thought. It didnt work for me but i will try again..anything is worth trying. Thanks lovely xxx
  • Hi Trikki2, my onc and nurse have said no to anything unpasteurized.  We are putting you on a pregnancy diet they said !  Just to avoid Listeria etc. but i cant speak for everyone. Did you try the pineapple trick that has been suggested somewhere on this forum ? 
    Freezing slices of pineapple and then sucking on it. I think I have that right......lol. I am very lucky to not have any taste problems yet....
