So I steered myself directly for comfort food. Doesn't that always include cheese in so way shape or form? Grilled cheese sandwiches were one of the few things that tasted good to me and I enjoyed eating it. And there was also mac and cheese. Not just any mac and cheese though, it had to be kraft in the blue box with that pouch of gooey cheese you poured on the macaroni. Yeah, very unhealthy of me I know. But I had cancer and thought I was gonna die so I wasn't afraid to eat whatever I wanted. I was angry that my mouth was so messed up and I could barely enjoy food.
Comfort food does just that, provide comfort. I was searching for comfort everywhere during my cancer treatment and it was really tough to find any. I did find some in the form of cheese though!
What is your favorite comfort food? During your treatment did you loose your appetite or have changes in your ability to taste? How did you deal?

i had the metal taste, the mouth sores and i lost too much weight while on chemo. also, i couldnt keep anything down. i started eating hungry howies pizza with dr. pepper. also mashed potatoes. garlic, a lifetime obsession of mine, became intolerable!! i was glad that my taste for garlic and health food returned when the chemo was over.
