Hi I'm going through my chemo treatment and coping relately well I think. Having good n bad days as you do. Just wondered if anyone has some suggestions for food.  Eating is difficult enough with the sickness but everything tastes of metal or soapy. Really not enjoying eating and today it has got me down. Just wondered if anyone gone or going through the same has any suggestions? Thanks in advance Joanne x 

  • Hello Joanne,

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulties with eating now and that this situation is taking a toll on you.

    Hopefully, our forum members may have some useful suggestions and will pop by soon to offer their advice but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a link from our web page on how to cope with eating and drinking difficulties when you have cancer, and I hope this information will help a little.

    If you want to ask our cancer nurses for advice please know that they are available on this freephone number 0808 800 4040, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
