I am due to have my last chemo session on Friday which is great but I’m just wondering how long it might be before my taste buds recover after I finish treatment? I haven’t really enjoyed food since starting chemo in August so I’m really hoping it might be ok by Christmas! 

  • HI

    I didn't have chemo. so I can't help with you query - sorry.  But I'm just 'bumping' your post in case any of the ladies who've endured chemo can give you an answer.

    Good luck with your last treatment!

    Kindest wishes,

    Hi 

    I had chemo and finished my last session early September and also found that through the last 3 treatments my taste buds changed . I am still finding that I still have a metallic taste and food still doesn’t taste as it did . Not sure how long this lasts and I suppose it’s different for  everyone Blush

    Thanks for the reply, guess I’ll just have to wait it out. Fingers crossed Christmas dinner will be ok!
