Hi, l am new to the group but sadly not new to cancer. Been coping with it since 2021 and now on my third set of chemo which has hit me for 6. Problems with eating and drinking as everything leaves a bad taste. Tried sharp drinks like lemon and lime which help but the bad taste just comes back. Any suggestions ?
Hi Loiner and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've been coping with cancer for a couple of years and that everything you eat tastes horrible.
When I was having chemo for breast cancer I found that if I ate spicy things, like curry or chilli, it actually tasted okay. Also I found that pineapple never lost it's taste so I'd have pineapple for pudding and pineapple juice to drink.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
