Hi All,
#I am just asking about the chemo taste and wondering how long it lasts after the last round of chemo
Hi, I have had this from around Day 5 through to about Day 13 in a 3 week cycle of TCHP. Hope this helps
Hi Sep
Ive just finished my chemo and my taste buds started to return about 3 or 4 weeks after my last one. It still isnt back completely to normal 5 weeks later but it is improving all the time and I can eat everything i used to. Some food groups I couldnt eat during chemo as sometimes it tasted like carboard and other times like i was trying to eat something rotten.
Hope this helps as it certaintly does return
Take care x
