I was about five weeks into chemo and one morning all of a sudden my coffee tasted like MUD!!!!! One of my doctors admins told me she had an Uncle that went through the same thing (A different type of cancer) and after he got treatments finished up he got the urge back and the taste of coffee went right back to appealing. Coffee can work against you as far as hydration right now anyway so it may be a silver lining.
Christine offers up some great comments and advice. We're all here for on another! Prayers and all my best!
