During and after chemotherapy your senses may feel like they have gone haywire. Taste changes are a very common side effect of chemotherapy. Your sense of smell might also change, and you might become overly sensitive to fragrances. You might get chills frequently or constantly feel cold. Your mouth may develop sores and feel very dry. You may feel nauseous. In this blog post we suggest a variety of products to create a "Chemo Goody Bag" - items to take with you to treatment - to reduce these uncomfortable physical side effects.
