I’ve noticed that my food doesn’t taste very good in the first few days after the start of the chemotherapy cycle. I think it must be due to the dexamethasone (steroids) that I mentioned yesterday as being so good at controlling the nausea as well as maintaining my good mood. Last night’s burger and chips were quite tasteless, in spite of plenty of salt and vinegar, for example.
Today, however, not having taken any steroids this morning, I really enjoyed the Italian lunch I had after we visited the Staffordshire Potteries Art Gallery and Museum in order to look at the famous Staffordshire Hoard. What a relief!
I promise there’ll be more about the visit soon, but it’s too hard to do it justice blogging from a mobile device, as I am today.

Maybe try Indian or Thai food in the days following your chemotherapy? A nice spicy vindaloo perhaps?
Interesting idea. My wife hates spicy food, so it’s not as easy as just saying it, but I think it might be worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
