Chemo will effect your friends taste buds a lot so it really is not a case of a diet chart but a case of what your friend wants to eat and can eat as some foods will taste very different and some even unpleasant. I do suggest that before eating she hast a chunk of tinned pine apple to help her tastebuds.

I was given a list of what NOT to eat or drink .... So the rest was whatever I fancied or could eat xxxx perhaps she should ask her breast cancer nurse or the people where she is receiving her treatment. Xxxx

It's really a case of what she would like, as pretty much everything tastes awful, eventually l tried enriched drinks as I was eating so little. Once the Chemo has finished her appetite will improve but until then just a little of what ever she would like.

Best Wishes to You & Your Friend.

You are a very caring person 💐

Hi, i was told that main thing whilst going through chemo is to look after your immune system. I was advised to eat as though i was pregnant so no pate, soft cheeses, eggs etc for me..

With regard to taste buds, everyone is different as everything i ate tasted like butter so you just eat to fuel your body... Porridge for breakfast, soup for lunch and a yoghurt and then whatever i fancied for tea. I didnt snack as i couldnt taste it so not worth it.

Good luck to your friend with the rest of her treatment.

I am treating food like I did when I was pregnant........cooked or pealed, no live yogurt or unpasteurized milk or cheese. Hope that helps.

Hallo ediwn. I am glad you found it useful. I hope your friend is feeling a little better. I am presently on chemo myself, and it is a struggle. But eating well, with lots of water and vegetables may help her.

Not what you're looking for?
