Hello,  My name is Susan.  I have finished 5 months of chemo for ovarian cancer. I am, at this time, cancer free according to my gynocologist/oncologist.  I have a terrible taste in my mouth when eating.....metal taste or bitter, however, I do not enjoy anything sweet. Is there anything I can do to relieve this ?  Thank you.  Also is there a special type of food I should be eating?
Helloo...read through your query....the problem your facing with the metallic taste is common for those taking chemo...it is mainly due to oral thrush(fungal infection candidiasis)but nothing to be worried...u can follow some steps like after brushing your teeth u can scrape your tongue with scraper(main site of candida and microbes).use chlorhexidine mouth rinse.apply statin topical gel on tongue palate inside of cheek (antifungal gel).then Chat Doctor. .if possible reduce too many chilly foods it can cause burning sensation.follow these simple steps regularly for few weeks and still if problem persists meet a dentist and get treated based on clinical presentation...be cool and happy.happiness is the best medication.it can cure all diseases...hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!!
