What food did you enjoy, or at least manage to eat while on chemo?

I'm on day 4 after my first session of chemo. The nausea was quite bad this morning and comes and goes but no food appeals. Have now started the new anti-sickness pills so hoping they will keep the nausea at bay but no food or drinks really appeal. Tea doesn't taste right, nor coffee, nor squash. Just water left I suppose

Can you please share with me what you did manage or eat please?

I liked the Rocks Squash in lemon or orange, there’s something refreshing about it and doesn’t have any nasty ingredients.

Hi Yachty, can I ask where you get Rocks squash pleaae? Cheers

Fresh pineapple and ice cream. Herbal tea to drink, particularly the ginger ones. Don’t beat yourself up about having a terrible diet at this time, you eat whatever you can stomach.

Cottees lemon cordial. No sugar. Fairly weakly made up. Did not taste like metal.

Crackers with butter and avocado.

Marmite toast.

Almonds

Watery vegetable soup with white fish

sometimes Iced Coffee Milk in carton.
sometimes Sardines on crackers.

That is all I could tolerate on my menu for entire chemo. months.

You can get it in most large stores, my local Tesco extra has it and I get it in Ocado deliveries
