Learning chemo rules the hard way

Ok, I like spicy foods, no I love spicy foods. I have all my life. But since I started doing chemo I have a problem with spicy foods. A huge problem. And the bad thing is that since I have been eating spicy foods all my life its kind of a hard habit to break. If you have been to a "real" Mexican restaurant then you know that on the table where you sit are condiments usually consisting of salt, pepper, mild sauce, hot sauce and also a clear plastic bottle of tiny little yellow peppers (banana peppers). Typically I will eat 5 or 6 peppers before my food gets there, then another 10 or so along with my food. Also I love jalapenos, I eat them typically with everything. Now grant you there is price to pay for eating these wonderfully delicious peppers. I won't go into detail but I will say that when you "disperse" these peppers it normally feels like a 5 alarm fire coming out your ass. Now before chemo I was able to handle that. But since I started chemo the "pain" is far far beyond a 5 alarm fire. Now its more like a nuclear bomb is coming out of my ass after it explodes! The pain is so bad, I scream...I sweat...I swear...I pray...I dam near pass out, literally. Last night I had enchiladas, and my son knowing I love those hot carrots you can get, gets me a bag full. Like a dummy I eat the whole bag. Today I spent mostly on the toilet in agony and I do mean agony. So if you have started chemo and take the drugs Taxol and Carboplatin and you like spicy foods... DON'T EAT THEM! It will dam near kill you or at a minimum it will make you wish you were dead. I have had to tell my whole family to remind me not to eat spicy, its not worth the pain.
