Calm before the storm
Hi all, We have our first dose-dense AC treatment this Friday for Rebecca and while we're really glad to have some sense of momentum and control now with the treatment plan, I'm trying to get organ...
Hi George, I just want to say how thoughtful you are to be looking after Rebecca so well and planning ahead. Some of us don't have that added extra care and I'm sure it will put her in good stead for handling the treatment.
I am still on my first set of Carbo/Taxol treatment and have (at week 6) really noticed a change in taste sensations - everything I used to love tastes bland - which is so frustrating when you sometimes just want comfort food. But being on steroids does seem to have increased my appetite at times - though I appreciate AC is a different concoction.
I think you'll be 'playing it by 'ear' for a little while seeing what goes down easily, stays down and also what tastes good. A friend of mine said that sometimes it may be that you have to try foods you haven't tried before in order to get the 'taste' sensation. Good luck. And be gentle on yourself as well. You are doing your best.
