Re: Just for fun! Chemo and cravings

I was never real fond of mushrooms till after chemo and radiation. Then I craved baby bella mushrooms chopped with onions and fried in olive oil or butter, with pepper or Kentucky Kernel seasoning. That went on for several months. Now I have no desire for them.

Re: Just for fun! Chemo and cravings

Cook and serve chocolate pudding - tastes especially good to me through chemo. Thankfully I can't drink my Pepsi anymore cuz it burns going down so cancer helped me kick the pop habit!
