This changed from day to day.
Some days all I felt like were fruit smoothies, other days I needed the sharp tang and crunch of salt and vinegar chips!
I seemed to swing from one extreme to the other, either highly textured highly seasoned or smooth and bland. Anything in the middle just had no appeal for me.
Lemon sour candies, but these aggravated the mouth ulcers. Ginger anything, although that may not appeal to a child.
Good luck finding things to tempt him to keep up his strength.

Taste is adversely affected by chemo.
Things I could Almost Always eat:
flavored oatmeal
mac and cheese [ Kraft only - others were too rich or greasy ]
corn, green beans, peas, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, tiny bits of asparagus and brocolli
field greens, Romaine lettuce, small amount of raw carrots, tiny amount raw cabbage, avocado
rice
baked potato
chicken
shrimp
cut up melon, berries
Try fruit smoothies, thick soups, shakes, anything he’ll eat!
Pay attention to what he doesn’t keep down – avoid or give small amount.
