Hi Missmary. My hubby had the same problem during chemo. He seemed to keep sweets down better than other things. He couldn’t eat fish any more during the chemo. He is back to eating it now. Our oncologist told us to eat whatever he liked with lots of water during the chemo week. My husbands next phase after chemo (because he had Mets to liver too) was to have his liver resected-both aides within 6 weeks of each other and the diseased piece of the colon taken out during that time. Hope this helps.

Hi Brenz, I had the surgery first. They removed the right side of the liver and most of the transverse and all of the ascending colon. I am close to finishing 12 rounds of chemo. The types of food I am able to hold down or taste is of all things instant mashed potatoes and stouffers Mac n cheese. LOL. I’m not able to eat meat or many sweets. Although, I was a heavy sweet eater prior to surgery. All of this happened very fast. I suffered from what was thought to be gallbladder pain for many years and no one was able to find a problem until it metastasized to the liver. Hope all goes well with your husbands surgery. His appetite may change again after the surgery. God bless and all my prayers for his recovery.
