Hi all,
I have had my first treatment 5 days in and so far everyday i get the same taste in my mouth, my urine smells the same is this the drugs - its not metallic its a - dont know how to describe it.
So far I've had bad nausea and now Ulcers starting on the tongue.
Hoping tomorrow i can get out and about.
I couldn't abide water its tasted thick and yucky strangley, I drank ginger beer and loads of poweraide. I too felt I smelled like chemicals and would pull my sheets back to air the bed and sprayed Aidairs linen spray on my sheets.
Lucky me didn't get ulcers but I gargled continuously I did get horendous diarrhoea so maybe have some Imodeum on hand just incase.
I finished my chemo about a month ago and I just noticed today that the hair on my legs is coming back, celebrations on regrowth.
Good luck with it all keep strong and we are all here supporting each other.
cheers
Donna

The side effects of chemo are something else. Yes it is hard to describe the taste, smells and how you feel. I used to spin my husband out with "hissy fits". There is a blog somewhere on here about "how chemo affected you and tips" (something like that) which is full of great information which could be really helpful for you. I used to eat food only because I knew I had to but it had no "normal" taste to me. You will find certain foods that you will enjoy and others that you will never stomach again. Just keep on trying.
