Ladies - any tips or suggestions on some nice tasting drinks to keep the fluid intake up while on chemo.
Water and blackcurrent is becoming hard to stomach at the moment as it doesn’t taste the same — bleurgh!!
Your taste buds a wrecked and I know that feeling. Some people say that anything with ginger cuts through that bad taste. I think I just did fizzy water with ice and black coffee.
Sam - I used to find lemon & ginger or peppermint tea (don’t leave the teabag in for too long!) and lemonade all to be quite good. Another good tip is to gargle with salt water regularly as well as all the normal mouthwashes.
I sympathise - the mouth and tongue side effects were the worse part for me on chemo.
Good luck x
