Hi all, i was wondering if anyone has any tips for eating after chemo? Chemo day im fine but for another week the thought of eating is the worst thing, I tend to loose 7-9lb in the first week. Im trying to sort as it leaves me feeling so ill and the sickness is over powering along with the consipation. I have chatted to the nurses but they say just eat little and often. Everything i put in my mouth tastes disgusting. I have chemo every 3 weeks Paclitaxel and Carboplain. During my last week i manage to put some back on. Any tips would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

I had chemo for breast cancer and agree that a lot of food tastes horrible for about a week afterwards. I found that eating spicy food like curries and chilli was best for me as that seemed to taste as it should do. Also pineapple always tasted like pineapple so I drank pineapple juice and ate pineapple slices.
