I agree about water, euck. Having trouble with meat as well as bread and potatoes, in fact any carbs. This has lasted nearly two weeks this time. As you say it does improve just in time for the next session. Luckily this will be my last dose, but those few weeks re food will be difficult.

Has anyone else come out in a rash when on this part of treatment. After two weeks on first session my arms and chest came out in a red pimple like rash. Reported it to chemo unit. Had a blood test and saw doctor who gave me antihistamine tablets and cream for the rash and told me to stay out of the sun. Well same thing has happened again this second round only this time more of a rash on chest and neck. This time the sun cannot be blamed as either not out or I was covered up. Both times temperature has been fine. As usual having difficulty getting through to chemo unit, so have taken an antihistamine tablet. On another note has anyone found something they can eat and drink during this period? EVERYTHING TASTES FOWL. About the only thing I can stomach is cup a soup which is not very filling thanks for "listening"

has anyone found a good substitute for washing synthetic wigs than the expensive ones on offer?

Thanks for the thoughts and ideas. The idea of using my own hair was that hopefully I would still look like me! This is just forward planning as I haven't yet got my start date for chemo but expect it to be before end of the month.

has anyone made a fringe from hair lost because of chemo, to make a fringe to use when wearing a scarf(turban). If so can you give me any tips?
