Hi Olga, When I had my 1st round of FEC I felt great afterwards. Couldn't work out what all the fuss was about. Then the steroids that they had given me wore off. I was very tired and everything tasted like metal. I was very lucky as I could rest when I needed to and I found that mints helped with the funny taste in my mouth. The other hint that helped me was to eat with a plastic fork, might sound funny but it really helped. I also found that lemon cordial helped me keep my fluids up and paw paw ointment was very soothing for my mouth. Will be thinking good thoughts for you, all the best Hilary
