Hi I'm new to this group and just need some reassurance. I had most of my colon removed in November and just started 4 rounds of chemotherapy 10 days ago. And I feel rotten! Feel as if I have a huge hangover, my mouth is sore and my throat is burning. Food tastes horrible, when I do manage to eat. The anti sickness medicine is making no difference and I don't know how I'll reach the end of this treatment. I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2013 and underwent chemo radiotherapy followed by throat dissection in 2015, therefore I'm not able to eat a great variety of food anyway. Does this get better as you get into the treatment or should I expect to feel like this for the whole 12 weeks? Also has anyone else had head and neck cancer followed by colon cancer? Just wondering if it was my diet of Fortisip and high fat/sugar diet, (which was advised by my dietician to keep my weight up) to blame!
