If you folks have had this happen how did you go... my wife's ovarian cancer has reemerged... She has had her first round of Doxil/carboplatin and now she is saying that using distilled water for proper hydration is a problem become it is starting to taste bad... We are going to try apple juice but I was wondering if Gatorade would be a good try... I just am concerned that the electrolytes in Gatorade may be an issue with chemo... Any experience with this?

    future_dreamer I drank PowerAid (similar to Gatorade) while on chemo and never had an issue, but I would encourage you to reach out to the doctors office to ask and see if they have any suggestions. I was trying to up my fluid intake and wanted to replace some of all my body needed that was being washed away.

    Your wife is lucky to have such a caring spouse.
