Yes I also had trouble getting my hydration in because I don’t like water even with cordial added! I drank a lot of zero sugar Powerade and Gatorade energy drinks, diet ginger beer and ate lots of icey poles. My fridge and freezer were full of these things and I never got tired of them.

My diet was based around fish, chicken, veggies (such as spinach, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, potatoes) and fruits (such as tomatoes, bananas, grapes, apples, blueberries) plus yoghurt, humus etc. I found I ate mainly bananas and grapes sometimes humus and crackers while the 46 hour take home bottle was on then a huge bowl of laksa with rice noodles and prawns as soon as the bottle came off. I also liked my main meals mashed up because of the mouth sores!!

Please don’t hesitate to ask me anything. Best wishes 🙏🙏🌺🌺

Oh! After you wrote bevacizumab I realized that is what I will be getting! I had to go check my Drs notes. The other I listed I can’t have because it won’t work like they hoped. How did you handle that medication? I am trying to work thru it all as long as I can. I won’t get that bev treatment until we determine if they will do radiation on my cuff. The bleeding subsided after the first chemo treatment so I was excited about that and might not need it. I started to get some discharge again though yesterday. I hope it goes away again. How did they know it was your appendix that had it first? What does the HIPEC do? They saw some in my abdominal wall that I am hoping was just inflammation but I get tummy pains there so I am not confident in that hope. Hopefully folfiri will kick its butt! No pun intended lol. Did you ever get nerve pain down your legs by chance? Its something new and could be a pinched nerve. I am going to stock up on icees! Great idea! Thank you so much! What is laska?
