How weird does food taste in chemo??
I find watermelon and pineapple taste like alcohol, yesterday some salted cashews tasted like blood and a few weeks ago I licked an envelope and it tasted like cheese and bacon shapes :o

I want to say lucky you! I had none of that. Almost everything tasted either wrong, off, metallic or completely revolting! There were a handful of foods that tasted so hideous I had to spit them out... Fortunately getting your sense of taste back happens pretty quickly. I noticed an improvement at the 2 - 3 week mark (after the end of the full three week cycle) and reckon I was fully back to normal after about five weeks. K xox
