Hey All,
I have good ol’ oxaliplatin as part of my treatment plan which I think is fairly common for colorectal cancers. I just wondered if anyone has come up with any good warm drinks to try as I am getting a little bored with warm water, warm squash and herbal teas (in fact - does anyone else think herbal teas smell amazing but definitely do not taste as good as they smell? lol)
Guessing the odd cup of miso or broth is probably good to mix things up a bit. But has anyone got any other suggestions worth a try? Has anyone tried anything with fruit juice? Or any good milk based drinks? Or coconut water? All suggestions very much appreciated
I do like to start the day with a cheeky coffee but I have to be in the mood for tea I will give lemon a ginger a shot though …. Thankyou
Ooooh - defo giving this one a whirl - I love vanilla
In terms of food - I am a massive pig lol (I believe this is also known as a hearty appetite lol) and so far this hasn’t been effected too much by chemo - still happily chomping away (we have always loved cooking so haven’t had to change food diet too much). It is the cold drinks I have really struggled to replace with warmer drinks … so a big thankyou for the suggestions above, shall definitely give these a shot
