What's Happening To Me?

I almost ordered latkes at a restaurant today but decided Matso ball soup might taste better to my impared chemo taste buds. It was just barely OK. Had a bite of my husband’s corned beef which my before BC “me” used to love and hated it. The texture of meat and it’s now distorted or non existent flavor is hard for me to take. Came home to the stuffed cabbage I had made in a crock pot and hated it, too. Only the cabbage was semi tolerable. Chemo is turning this carnivore into a vegetarian.
Anyway Happy Hanuakah everyone!

I'm So Hungry, But I Can't Eat

It's been 1 week since my last chemo and eating is a struggle right now. EVERYTHING tastes so horrible and the feel of food in my mouth is hard to get past. Water tastes horrible, too. Maybe, I’ll try an ice cream diet.

Ongoing Chemo Effects

My sense of smell is totally out of whack and I smell "dirty diapers" constantly. Also, my nose feels like water just went up it. And EVERYTHING tastes horrible. I just tried to eat rice with soy sauce. Could hardly taste the soy sauce, more like tasting the memory of what it tastes like. I could only eat about a cup full. I think I like drinking. Crystal light Pure better than water. Still taking Vicodin. My right arm has been hurting. And just like the last time, I'm very depressed.

Chemo 3 - Day 3 - Going Down For The Count

Had Chemo #3 on Dec. 6, then Nuelasta injection yesterday (Dec. 7) and today it's all really hitting. Feeling extremely fatigued and trying to avoid as much as possible the oncoming bone pain that is part of my Chemo treatment by taking Vicodin. Also feeling just generally unwell and sad that I will be out of it for my husband's birthday on the 12th. Oh well.......
