Chris;
I don't know if you're a coffee drinker or not. While in treatment I totally lost my taste for coffee, which I was told that a lot of Chemo patients do, but it would come back. Well it did, and I drink coffee with meals just to change things up. (can't stand it hot at this point so I dilute it with ice) Also, as Amy said, tea goes down pretty well. Anything carbonated doesn't work at all for me. Water is still the first preference though because I still seem to require a lot to wash things down. This is kind of strange but milk burns, except I can tolerate it with oatmeal & cereal (which I let get soft in the milk prior to eating). After I eat the cereal I can handle drinking the milk.

Best Wishes,
Steve
