New to this group, start treatment on 20th, lets hope all goes well then i can get rid of this cancer, found different foods to eat, love greek yoghurt with jelly suppliments and noodles are good.

  • Hey lorry driver, my eating actually got easier when I started treatment. Check my profile where I have listed everything I've learnt regarding eating. Trick is to take your time and blended stuff up if needed.

  • Hi my husband is on his,3rd round of chemo and he can vertually eat anything again

  • Stalis It feels so good to be able to I'm still eating blended foods, my thoughts are not to run before I can walk I don't want to irritate my tumour at all. Glad your husband is doing well. How is he getting on with other symptoms?

  • hi he is very tired and cant taste a lot he is quite irratable at times which i am finding hard 

  • The metallic taste is really annoying. One recipe my wife invented for me which is great so I don't have to eat as much is adding the protein drinks you get to a blender with some full fat milk, a banana and some peanut butter/nutella. Now instead of each drink being 400 calories they add up to atleast 550. If he is ok with the texture also adding some oats pushes the calories up further.     I do this with 2 of my protein drinks in the day which takes the pressure off me eating all the time knowing those 2 drinks are half of the calories i need for the day :)

  • Hey lorry driver, 

    Good Luck tomorrow with the first treatment, I hope that it goes ok for you
