One thing that becomes very noticeable during chemotherapy is a dropping off in appetite. Or to put it another way you don't feel hungry at all. For those who know me that is in itself very unusual. It does however create problems for Ev.
To the question what would you like to eat, the answer is often I don't know, which isn't exactly helpful. Today for example I didn't have any Breakfast and it's safe to say I didn't miss it. For Lunch I tried some scrambled egg on toast. The egg digested fine, the toast did not. I ate a yogurt and a couple of Biscuits and that did me okay until tea time when I had some spaghetti Bolognaise and small steamed pudding with custard. Again I ate it but if it hadn't been put in front of me I'm not sure I would have bothered.
Another problem for Ev is that as I need carbohydrates I am eating full fat stuff. This means she either has to have what I am getting or buy two lots of food.
Another art I am developing is when I go in the fridge to get the milk out to make a cup of tea, I have to wrap my fingers with kitchen roll to prevent the numbness in my fingers from becoming a problem.
Otherwise this has been a quite day. I only had a brief feeling of nausea thank goodness. In the meantime I am one step nearer my next week off. I can't wait.
