Hello

My mum had surgery for bowel cancer in December and started on oral capecitabine at the start of February.  She is halfway through her fourth cycle. Until recently her main side effect was tiredness but towards the end of her third cycle and especially this cycle she has noticed a reflux-type feeling and a sensation that she isn’t swallowing her food completely (even though she is). She also has a “tinny” taste in her mouth all the time.  Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, is there anything that can be done about it? 


Thanks

Happ
