    I love coconut water after chemo!
    Unfortunately, my grocery store was out on Monday & Tuesday. Had last chemo Wednesday & really miss my coconut water I've been drinking gatorade, diet gingerale, and Fuze (which I picked up when I couldn't get the coconut water). It's not bad and comes in different flavors.

    Jennifer, You will come to love your port. I will be thinking of you Monday when you have the port in and your first chemo treatment. Like everyone has said--drink plenty of water to flush your system. Get plastic ware since sometimes chemo will give you a metallic taste in your mouth and metallic forks make it worse. Take you anti-nausea meds as directed.

    Hugs,
    Margo
