Hi,
**** wanted me to share that he has found a drink that really helps him during chemo week. We make him a black ice tea - lemonade. During chemo week he has a horrible taste in his mouth and excess saliva. He finds the combination 1/3 lemonade to 2/3 black tea really settles his stomach and gets rid of the bad taste in his mouth. He says the caffeine (even though its not good for you) gives him a boost too. He wanted to make sure you guys had that info in case anyone is having that bad taste.

Aloha,
Kathleen

    Yum! I think :)
    Sounds like a good one, Kathleen. I know I like iced tea, and I know I like lemonade... so a combination of the two sounds like a great drink even if one doesn't have nausea or the bad taste in the mouth. Tell **** thanks for the suggestion!

    Thanks Kathleen - I have the
    Thanks Kathleen - I have the bad taste as well. I also have "excess saliva," but I refer to it as "drooling." I'll try the tea next week. And then I'll go catch a huge fish.
