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.
unfortunately taste buds seem to go and have a party somewhere else so nothing tastes like it should...i felt like everything had a 'tinny' taste..so i would say just feed me whatever..but i did enjoy soups-pumpkin was good..something with a strong flavour..vege with pasta was always a good 'meal' too
i would also have mints on hand..i liked eclipse green (spearmint) & still do today..
for other 'meals' for the freezer perhaps spaghetti or lasagne, casseroles etc ...i'm sure anything u do would be appreciated (even if she may not say) as when ur feeling ill its hard to sound sppreciative at times..
Ensure she has some anti-nausea meds from her Dr..she should not have to put up with feeling sick, fatigue and other side effects are enough to deal with.
Good luck with her treatment, what a wonderful thing to be cose enough to support her
