Yes the taste thing is weird. I went off tea. I normally can't start my day without 2 or 3 three big mugs but on the chemo, especially those 4-5 days after treatment, I couldn't drink it. It reminded me a bit of being pregnant. I just wanted milky, soothing sorts of drinks. I did consume quite a few of my kids' Up and Go drinks. And I wanted to eat soft mushy foods like macaroni & cheese or two minute noodles. I think it is a good idea to be very careful about the dental hygiene - I managed to avoid any problems in that area too. And you also have to be careful about germs generally as your immune system is compromised. I'm sure you probably know that. It sounds like you've prepared yourself well. Good luck tomorrow Greta. Chances are it will be much the same as the first time. Janet.
