Pre chemo meals......

Yes I agree that really cold water is the best to drink. I found my taste would change as I was having the chemo so cold water also helped with this. I was the opposite of Paula (we are all different and it does depend on what chemo you are having too) and only ate very lightly on Chemo day. I had my chemo during lunch and the first time I ate the lunch they supplied (hospital sandwiches, fruit and fruit cake). I was so sick that night and thereafter only ever ate a few pieces of fruit for lunch and stuck to very cold water. I had FEC for the first 3 chemos. I did have nausea but this usually was only bad for a few hours on the first day, then just mild. I found it helped to eat small amounts often rather than normal meals. Don't be surprised if you feel like eating unusual things, not your normal diet. I found it helped to eat cold things and salty things. Good luck. Deanne xxx
