Doctors have a lot to watch over with a patient on chemotherapy. There are the BIG side effects that will kill you fast and the insideous ones that will kill you slow or change the quality of your life to the point that you think you might prefer death. Those, rightfully so, are attention grabbers.
The smaller things--like the nasty taste in Kev's mouth that makes him feel like throwing up--don't get a lot of attention. They can control the nausea if you want the baggage that comes with taking another drug, but the nastiness remains. Sort of an ever present reminder that something is not right within.
For a guy who used to list "lunch" among his hobbies, this is a big deal.
He's frustrated that it goes on. He endured it--grudgingly--through chemotherapy as part of the deal. Now that chemotherapy is over he would like his mouth to cooperate and get back into the game.
So our seasoning and taste testing quests continue.
The Food Network is missing an opportunity here. They should consider a new show, something like "Cooking Through Cancer." I'll host.
