Be careful of yougart (live bacteria) makes you sick. Most other foods taste like cardboard, drink ginger ale it seems to keep its taste. If not sure have a small taste 1st, good luck I've been through it & I've got to again soon.

Hi, when do you start? My first chemo is Thursday....bricking it! Xxx

High , most people are not to ill having chemo its normally 4or5 days after when it hits you, some are OK all way through. I'm normally sick for about a week +but if you want to check on me check on billygoat on prostate cancer and living with cancer. Oh you have to be careful about cheese as well 

Hi there firstly im so sorry you have cancer at such a young age!  I just fopund out a few days ago my dad has cancer in the groin which has spread to lymph nodes so i hope you dont feel im being a know it all but i dont yet know my dad has to go back in a month for chemo all i know is basically my step mum has put him on basically a vegan diet absolutly no red meat etc etc nor dairy she has swiched my dad to almond milk and hes on other dairy free products and i know my stepmum did do lots of research on foods that are best for you anyways i hope you dont mind me messaging you and i trully wish you all the best x

Hi, 

cheese????? I blimmin live on the stuff! Also read you have to be careful with live yoghurt.....who would have thought!! Xx

Me again as you said live bacteria and chemo react on stumack (could not remember how to spell it) upsets acid, sometimes it is possible to have strong food like a curry but try small piece first good luck.

Talk to your care team, advice may vary from one type of chemo to another.

My oncologist was rather jolly about it I'm afraid, he just said I should eat whatever I could keep down but avoid the things others have mentioned. 

The list of side effects is always a scary read but remember that not everyone experiences all of them, nor all of the time.

I found it helped to keep a diary of my weight as I was told there was a risk of losing weight rapidly. 

Most people find starting chemo to be an anti-climax - if you're having infusions take a book, a Kindle or some music with you as there's a lot of sitting around feeling bored! 

Good luck!

Next Friday and me too... I've heard makes people sick
