Tinny Taste

osmotar

Has anyone expierenced a tinny or metalic taste in their mouth? I get a weekly carboplatin infusion and have finished 21 of 39 rad treatments so far. I get this taste without eating or drinking anything.

Hopefully sooner than later this taste will become a memory for me to.

Thanks Patty.

Yes
I still have that to some degree. I still use plastic spoons and forks at home.

carboplatin
I get an overpowering taste, to me it is salty. Even when I drink icewater, it's like drinking the ocean. It improves 2 weeks after the infusion, but is never completely gone.
