Hi All! I was diagnosed with Stage 2 HER2 positive breast cancer recently and had my first chemo session five days ago. I was ok initially but then Day Four hit me with nausea, loss of appetite and diarrhea. I am concerned that I will lose out even the most basic nutrients if I can't keep the food down. I am unable to keep down anti nausea tablets. Any suggestions on best types of food to eat during this period? Thanks x
Hi, I found I had quite bad nausea in days 4&5 after chemo and food tasted horrid for about 10 days. I hope the sickness passes quickly for you. It might be trying to see what you can eat actually and what tastes ok. I was able to manage a lot of fruit and veg, but nothing spicy, so I kept it very plain but healthy. Drinking lots of water also helps. Hopefully you feel better soon.
