Foods
I would like some hints and ideas about what foods might tempt my daughter if she is feeling unwell from chemotherapy. I will be doing some meals for her.
the only thing that really does it for me when I'm feeling bad from chemo is fresh fruit. Small pieces -- sometimes different elements taste really strange, but it can change from day to day for me. So sometimes apples taste like crunchy cardboard, other days they taste like yummy apples. But as the other girls say, everyone is different. In winter soup's gotta be a good option, just be sure to go with small serves, and avoid rich, creamy kinds.
My mum has cooked a few times for me and I felt really comforted by it. It's great that you love & care for your daughter. Ask her to be honest with you, then believe what she says when she tells you what she wants/needs. Lots love to you both.
