Confused about eating and drinking

Thank you appreciate your help x

I could only tolerate baked potatoes with cheese and apples. I really stressed about not eating well as even water tasted awful. A year on I realise you just do what you have to do to get through and it will pass. Xx

Thank you for your feedback.x

@Berchel14 Many of us started chemo intending to be paragons of virtue; eating clean and green, eschewing salt, sugar and alcohol. Many of us then end up surviving on cheese toasties for months (despite gluten issues) and sneaking the odd medicinal muscat when it all gets too much

Just do the best you can. Soda water is your friend as it can fizz the grey dead stuff off your tongue, but apart from that piece of advice, you are just going to have to suck/slurp/chew your way through it. Be prepared for something you enjoyed last week to be soo disgusting and associated with mad gut pains this week that you will never touch it again. I'm talking about you, anchovy stuffed olives.

I definitely agree with kezmusc  chemo mouth is the pits. I didn't get it straight away after the 2nd dose about the same time as i started moulting. At first i though wow that wasn’t so bad.  

I would suggest you eat whatever actually tastes like food through chemo.  Chemo mouth is the pits and food loses it's taste.  Thankfully chocolate and wine tasted the same. :)

Had surgery on the 14th Feb 2020, starting chemo on wed with a cold cap x

Where are you in your treatment Cheryl?

Thank you x
