Yes, after chemo water tastes terrible. I do drink it with TONS of ice and that seems to help me. My girlfriend uses good old kool aid - you can control your sugar with that. I make my own green tea iced tea adding fresh spearmint. Be creative. Better to drink a power drink than nothing at all. Keep trying things until you find the one that works best for you. I find that as I get further from the day of chemo, water gets easier to keep down. Good luck....
