Hi, new here but in need of some advice. I had my final round of Docetaxel 2 weeks ago and am wondering when my taste will return to normal? I'm very limited in what I can taste and avoid anything that has a high iron content in it as its like eating iron filings!
I think it took a good 5 or 6 weeks before taste returned for me but then it did get back to normal so it will come back for you!
Thank you for replying I’m not the most patient of people lol - having said that hopefully it will be back by the time my radiotherapy finishes on 8th April
