metal taste
Hi Darla, Seems like one of the side affects of many of the chemos and a lot of other drugs. Ever since I have been on abraxane nothing seems to tast too good. Occasionally salty food taste good, like pretzels. It does clear up after you are finished with chemo, but can't remember how long it took a month or so if memory is working. Hugs n prayers Bonnie0 -
L-Lysine
My oncology nurse suggested I take L-lysine to prevent mouth sores and I take it daily. Have never had a mouth sore. Can't tell if this is the reason, but was on Taxol/carboplatin for 9 rounds. Thank you for your service. Sounds like you have really gone above and beyond the call of duty. Prayers for you.... Saundra0 -
sounds like a lot
Wow, sounds like you have been through a lot already. The only thing that sounds good to me after chemo is fritos! I had chemo Monday and still have metallic taste in mouth. Did not first time around, must have to do with which chemos we are on? And of course each of us is so different (remember we are each WONDEROUSLY MADE!).

Funny you mentioned Fritos, Libby. I don't know that I'll ever eat another one. One day while I was getting chemo, my husband brought some goodies to eat and Fritos was one of them. When he opened the bag, I just about lost it, and to this day, no Frito has passed my mouth! We are all different. And each are wonderfully made.
Blessings,
