Hello

Hello AJSM30 and welcome to the family. My husband had 6 rounds of chemotherapy and finished this time last year. His experience was that the fatigue became worse the more cycles he had but that things improved from about a month after completing the course. Some men find that increasing exercise helps. As for taste, try taking some ice cubes with you to suck on during the infusion and for half an hour afterwards - this reduces the blood flow in the mouth and restricts the Docetxel from getting there. I found that I had to increase the level of herbs and spices in food to make it more tasty for him. He completely went off tea and coffee but found that diluted fruit juices were better for him. I must admit that I was a bit paranoid about making sure he only had cooked food with plenty of home made soups, casseroles, porridge and fed him little and often. Again it took about a month before things started to get back to normal but was a good 3 months before he could stomach things like coffee.

Please feel free to join in any of the conversations and ask whatever questions you want.
