Jim Graham said < definitely do know one thing: cancer, chemo, radiation, cancer-related medications, etc., very definitely do conspire to make major changes in how your body reacts to different things. One of my oncologists told me once that it's impossible to take any given symptom (from the list I'd given him of side effects I was feeling at the time...most of which I still feel today) and point to its exact cause, due to the fact that, with all my body has been through between all of the above, it's so screwed up that you can no longer determine what caused what.> I agree. My MIL had cancer about 12 years ago. She had chemo, she had radiation, and now some of the foods she ate for years she can't eat. She used to be a huge tuna fan. Now she says she can't eat it. She doesn't like the flavor. Same thing with onions. So I agree that chemo and radiation do something to your body. It changes it completely. at least you can still eat chiles...
