Chemo

Water or anything wet was a NO-NO for me when I did the colon Big C thing in '96
They did a resection and now I'm not quite so full of BS as I was prior to that is what folks said!!
Hang in there Bud and best of luck for a speedy recovery.

they didn't want you drinking water?
how would you stay hyrdrated?????
 
No, not that, it's just that being around anything high in humidity would make me sick as a dog, like stepping out side on a foggy morning, or drizzle or taking a shower. Could not stand bringing a glass of water up to my face for some darn reason. It was weird.
Milk, juice or the like, no issue, especially tap water, like there was something in it that I could smell or something.
Hold a wet washcloth to my face....would darn near make me puke.
Was doing 5 days chemo straight then 2 weeks off for what seemed like forever.
The 3rd week I ws pretty well back to norman then it would start all over again the next week and so on.
 
Is pot legal

Do you have THC dispensers there?
A gummy can help give you an appetite while you get some rest.
I hear they offer some powerful options of smoking weed as well.

Hey, don't judge.
It's becoming very acceptable in todays world.
I don't partake, it makes me stupider :), but I certainly understand if it helps.
 
I couldn’t eat or drink anything after couple treatments. For 5 months. Ice cream tasted like hair ball. 1st thing I could eat was ritz crackers and salsa. Ate like a crazy person. Still am. Your taste buds will go back to working shortly after treatment ends. You have to have protein and liquid intake to stay strong. And a positive attitude. Good luck with your treatments.
 
Should have added my treatments lasted 5 months so you wouldn’t be thinking gonna be along time before taste comes back.
 
It's been well over 10 years now after chemo and radiation and I've never gained my taste back. Sadly water and beer taste the same to me. I can taste salty things mostly.
