Hi Jenna D
Welcome to the Mac Community - Just read this blog message and was wondering if your chemotherapy was for Bowel cancer or something else ?
Reason for asking is that I noticed you haven't joined any groups as yet and that is where most of the shared experience support is to be found.
If you could reply with a little more information we can guide you to the best areas within the community to get the information, support and some answers to help you though this.
Yes, when I was on this chemo I had the same problem. Drinks were best lukewarm for the day of chemo and a couple of days after. Thereafter I could tolerate cold drinks but certainly no ice ! Hope this helps.
Yes that helps thanks just a strange sensation it was a bit better today as I'm able to sip and not such a bad taste but I find warm drink normal thankyou
What you could do to get more chemo information from those with experience of it is use that link to get to the bowel group, then select New Discussion and ask this chemo question there as well.
