I have benn on Votrient for almost a month. So far other than a bit of nausea and diearea everything is OK but one thing. Nothing tastes right. Can't taste salt. Does this go away?

    Taste

    Ed, welcome here but could you maybe post on the existing Votrient side-effects thread, rather than start a whole new thread on the same subject?

    Taste changes are fairly unpredictable and yes, it may go away again (and maybe quite soon).  Have a look at the main thread (one of our biggest).  Neil ('Nano Second') has some useful tips on how to minimise problems of change of taste.
