Due to feeling queasy and sometimes that funny taste in your mouth, I found making homemade soup full of fresh veg was handy. I could freeze some and use as and when. It was tasty and easy to eat.

I found that due to the strange taste in my mouth - sort of a metallic taste that it was easier to eat strong tasting foods! I found that grapefruit was good at masking the taste ! Marmite snadwiches were good too !!

I had really stranged cravings! it was like I was pregnant! while I was on chemo I couldnt get enough of anything spicey! hotter the better! but now im off chemo I cant stand anything spicy!! I went off things that I usually liked such as yogurt and coffee and still havnt gone back to like them now i'm off chemo!

I found I wanted filler foods - like bread and rather bland foods. I really enjoyed very simple home cooked food and veggies. I found spicy food irritated my already troubled tummy. I also ate a lot of sorbet and icecream - it seemed to sooth my mouth and tummy. I have found though that I now don't enjoy icecream as much.. I went off coffee too.

Greggs sausage rolls - yummy. Couldn't get enough of them. It was like being pregnant all over again.
