Lost reception for taste after two seances of chemo

My chemo scheme is FOLFOF

Hi Rioriopan and welcome to the community.

I am Sarah, one of the community champions(Macmillan volunteer in the community) and I noticed that your post hadn’t had any replies yet so my reply will “bump” your post so others may see it.

I notice you haven’t said which type of cancer you have, so if you can share that detail then I can direct you to the appropriate cancer specific support group, where others might be able to help.

Can I just check if you mean FOLFOX chemotherapy or some other type?

Losing taste is a normal thing during chemo. I found after the prescribed chemo was complete, the tastes eventually came back.

For me chocolate became bland and that was worrying because I love chocolate.

Crisps felt especially salty. Often one single crisp was like eating a tub of salt.

And spicy food really wasn't spicy. Not so bad because I could eat more. 

It's all subjective though. It could be an opportunity to try new foods now. You might find foods you didn't like before aren't actually that bad.
