Sweet Cravings
Evening everyone, just wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this. I'm up to my 11th Taxol treatment, one more to go. No major side effects fortunately. I also receive Herceptin every 3 wee...
Hi @Chrissy1121
I had 12 Taxol sessions and Herceptin, wasn’t taking steroids as I had no nausea, but no sugar cravings. Mind you, I lost my taste buds which may have had some effect! I could taste very few foods and sweet ones weren’t any different. But it is possible that Taxol might change your sense of taste sufficiently to heighten your liking for sugar. My taste capacity returned to normal very soon after I finished Taxol so you may see some difference after your last dose. Good luck!
