Husband cant get rid of metallic taste when on chemo. I have tried everything that I can think of. Maybe someone can suggest something that I have not thought of!
Hi Susytish
I'm sorry to read that your husband has a horrible metallic taste while on chemo. I don't have any experience with this myself but thought if you post this question in the Soft tissue sarcomas forum, which I can see you're a member of, there may be people in that group who can tell you what they did. Clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group if you want to post there.
I hope he can get rid of the taste soon!
Hi. I'm sorry to hear you guys are going through this. Whilst I was having chemo I experienced that horrible metallic taste too. I found eating fresh pineapple in the mornings and snacking on bits throughout the day did help a little and green tea with mint. Hope that helps.
