  • Hi,

    As everyone else said your taste buds come back it helps to rinse your mouth out with hot water and salt.  Or you can buy drops and they seem to rinse your mouth or you can try cleaning your tongue with your tooth brush.

    Good luck

  • My taste buds came back to normal within a few weeks of finishing chemo :-) Jenn
  • Hi there, Your taste buds will come back. I finished chemo in jan '12 and everything is back to normal and has been since probably April. I remembered drinking soy milk during chemo and the taste being not noticeable!! It certainly is now!! Good luck with your last chemo, it's nice to cross each treatment off the list when it's done Penny
