Weird taste during radtiotherapy
So, I have had 2 radiotherapy treatments on my left breast so far. I sense a weird taste in my mouth during the treatment. Can this happen or is it my anxiety playing tricks on me?

- Not sure if it is your anxiety 😟. I know I was anxious about getting painful throat ( as my radiation was targeted near my throat area and I was told by the rads nurses one of the possible side effects I may get is pain in my throat). Subsequently, the slightest discomfort in my throat make me wonder if I am actually getting that side effect. Fortunately, I didn’t have any. It was all in my mind 🙄.Like what Arpie suggested, let your nurses know. All the best for the rest of your rads treatment.💝💝💝
Gin - Sorry to hear that @staton - everyone gets different side effects (I only had skin reddening and a bit of 'breakthru') - and if there is nothing else that could cause it, it may well be the Rads! Make sure you let your Onc know next time you see them ... they may say 'yes, we've heard of that!'
Take care & all the best for the rest of the treatment xx
