Foods to try during Chemo

Hello Again Everyone, 

I hope you all are as well as can be, and I hope for those of you going through treatment that it's not being too harsh on you, and those supporting family and friends are feeling okay themselves. 

My mum started chemo on the 11th of December, She has to have 6 rounds; 3 FEC and 3 T treatments for the aggressive form of breast cancer she was diagnosed with on the 13th of November. Her last chemotherapy was last Wednesday (2/1/19) and this time it's hit her a lot worse which we expected. But this time she is struggling with her taste a lot more, like I know happens alot during chemo. I've had a look around and 'seasoning meat isn't very helpful because my Mum doesn't want to look at meat! Haha. 

So I just wanted to ask you all, what kind of small snacks can my Mum try that won't taste too weird, and that will actually taste like something? We are going for the 'small snacks and often' and then she's trying to eat as much of her main meals as she can, but knowing she's having the small snacks regularly means she's still actually having something to eat regularly throughout the day. 

Thank you all in advance for your help, and I send lots of love and healing to all of you. 

Love, A xxx

  • Chocolate and cream cake worked for me :-) 

  • Thank you so much for your reply Alfmeister 

    I will try all of those things, that's great. I'm sure you can understand what it's like from a personal point of view having Chemo, and knowing how much it has messed with your tastes etc and then you know what it's like when people are worrying about you because you haven't eaten much. I just love My Mum to bits and would do anything for her, as everyone else does. 

    Again thank you, I'll definitely try the fish, as mum actually tasted the fish and parsley sauce, mash and green beans she had for dinner last night, and she can always have some of my meal replacement milkshakes anytime.

     

    Love and light to you, and I hope you are as well as can be.

  • She has had some weird cravings, the first round of chemo she ate a whole tray of Fox's biscuits, but this time seems a lot worse which we expected but it's the taste of things that's making it even harder for mum, what other things did you try? Thank you so much, and love and light to you Davek
