Dislike of eating crunchy food

Hi Kate64 

Welcome to the forum. unfortunately the mouth has a rich blood supply and chemo does often affect that area as I understand it .

However it is definitely one to speak to his team about . Eating and keeping their fluids is is really essential and they would want to get onto that aspect and will have seen it all before .

My mum had a small dose reduction at one point and that helped reduce a lot of the intensity of the side effects .

He should have a specialist nurse to contact .

Our helpline staff would be happy to input too . 0808

808 0000.

How are you coping ?

Take care ,

Hi Court thanks for taking the time to reply. We've spoken to the chemo team but nobody seems to have come across this particular side effect, which he finds so unpleasant.

As to coping, I'm doing my best to be a supportive wife, often getting my head bitten off when he feels unwell. I'm seeking some counselling to try to help as I don't want to resent him but it's hard!

Thanks again

Kate
