This is going to sound like a stupid question i had cancer chemo and radiotherapy over 2 years ago and am doing really well,just wondered if anyone has had a strong metalic taste in there mouth following cancer treatment and if so would it be something you would be stuck with forever.this has only developed in the last month or so.thanks guys.
Hi ,
My mum talks about that . Seems to come and go . Certainly worth a chat with your GP as there seems to be a few different things that cause it . I think since chemo my mum’s digestive system is more sensitive. I notice her GP has put her on anti acids .
take care ,
