Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear that your taste buds have been affected by the chemotherapy. it is a horrible feeling not to be able to taste food as it should be tasted. We have some tips on our website about different food types that you may like to try. Have a look here

Small frequent meals may help. Trying to drink enough water will also help as it is important to flush all the different drugs through.  It is really a question of finding out what works for you as everyone's taste will be affected in different ways. 

Macmillan have a leaflet with different recipe ideas which you may find helpful to download. Have a look here

If you feel that you would like to buy a cook book to help with meal ideas, then the Royal Marsden has produced a cookery book which you can see here

I hope that you may get some ideas from the links above. If there is anything else that you would like advice about or if you would like to chat through any of this with one of the nurses on the helpline then do get back to us or give us a ring. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the Best,

Catherine
