Hi everyone, my mum started chemo in December, after her 4th session she had a scan and we received the AMAZING! news the chemo has shrunk the cancer a little, (she is pallative chemo so we'll have longer time with her) 

Now after the scan results we were told she could have a break for a further 3 weeks to get her strength back up, her taste buds came back shes managed to put a stone on in just over 1 week! Now shes just started her chemo again yesterday and already lost all her taste buds! She says food just tastes disgusting but cannot explain it.. when this happened before she was managing literally a quarter of soup per day, making her weight drop right down to 6 stone, the only way shes found that helps a little is by eating strong mints before and after each mouth full of food ... 

I'm asking does anyone have any tips at all on how to manage her taste buds, so she wont be put off by taste and lose any more weight, also cold is effecting her badly, whe was eating two large tubs of ice cream per week but now the chemo has effected her it's back to plain boiled water .... 

Any kind of advice is much appreciated thank you
