My son is in his 5th week of radiotherapy for saliva gland cancer 8 more treatments to go. The bad taste is becoming more intense and the salt taste is a constant, not only when eating, it is there all the time and seems worse during the night. It is this taste that cause’s sickness, he’s lost a stone in weight and was lean before the treatment. As the salty taste seems to be worse at night when laying down, I wondered if acid reflux could be part of the cause and if it might help to take Lanzoprazole?
