Metallic taste

Does anyone who has done chemo have any recommendations about what to do with the metallic taste in your mouth? Thanks.

  1. Hi Cathy. I just took a minute to look it up online and found a couple of sites that might be helpful in terms of suggestions. Hope these help you. Becca Pickens (RE Church)

  2. Sorry I've not been keeping up with your blog. That's why I was so "ig'nernt" (in John Richard terms) of upcoming treatment when I talked to you. I'll try to do better!
    Love you loads,

    I know not why God’s wondrous grace

    To me He hath made known,

    Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

    Redeemed me for His own.

    Refrain
    But I know Whom I have believed,

    And am persuaded that He is able

    To keep that which I’ve committed

    Unto Him against that day.

    I know not what of good or ill

    May be reserved for me,

    Of weary ways or golden days,

    Before His face I see.

  3. I know Dad experienced a huge change in his taste buds during chemo. Every round it was a little different. I do know that more acidic foods seemed to have the metallic taste worse than others. Just keep trying different things and don't let your weight drop. Dad drank a lot of Ensure when nothing else would work.

    My mom used the cookbook that MD Anderson suggested while Dad was on chemo. It really seemed to help. The recipes are very simple and good. I cook from it regularly, now. Randy could probably be the chef around your house in no time with it! "Eating Well Through Cancer" by Holly Clegg & Gerlad Miletello.

    Praying for you and your family every day.
