I started my chemotherapy and radiation treatments on Monday and other than a slight reaction to the Erbitux, it went well. I did develop a sour stomach on Tuesday and some nausea yesterday which a dose of Zofran remedied. I have also developed an off taste in my mouth, which I'm guessing is from the Cisplatin, although I supposed could be either drug, but its making eating a challenge. I did just make a smoothie with Vanilla Soy ice cream, almond milk and whey protein which tastes fine, but I'd love to hear if others developed this and what foods were at least vaguely okay to eat. Thanks!
