How long does loss of taste last for when having maintenance chemo

  • Hi, not sure what maintenance chemo is but with my chemo I lost it for a week, not lost it but I had the copper taste that put me off food 

  • My taste buds have been all over the place since having chemo and immunotherapy. Some food textures are also horrible. It hasn't been constant. I have been a coffee addict most my life, but now I find it mostly an unpleasant taste. 

  • The horrible taste does put you off food and drinks it did with me so I didn’t drink enough which was not good I love my cups of tea but now I can’t drink them I’m now on milky coffee the horrible taste has now gone so I’m eating more as long as it has a spicy taste to it and drinking more cranberry juice we just need to eat and drink things that over ride the horrible taste 

  • Good morning.

    Like most people have said my taste loss continues. My treatment has been 1 year with chemotherapy and immunotherapy and continues with maintenance immunotherapy So I don't think I can add anything of value to this post.

    Have a good day.
