Chemotherapy: A digestive opera in three acts
Act I: Lose appetite
Act II: Become nauseous
Act III: Vomit
In a bout of maternal intuition and knowledge transfer, Mum warned me that chemotherapy would feel like being pregnant. I have no way to compare chemotherapy and pregnancy, but between us they sound like similar processes.
Ways having chemotherapy is like pregnancy
- You are tired
- The taste of food changes
- You go off some foods, immediately and violently (the thought of cooked mushrooms makes me rush for a bathroom)
- You get cravings (I can't get enough salty French toast)
- You watch other people eat all day and then wake up at 1 AM hungry as hell
A staple for vegetarians, lost to me for the time being |
Does chemo makes your metabolism faster? that's why you got tired and hungry?
