From the article: Coping With Taste Changes (Dysgeusia) During Chemotherapy
Taste changes during chemotherapy are common, affecting roughly half of people going through cancer treatment. Some people describe the sensation as "metal mouth," while others note a lack of sensation for sweet tastes. Eating food cold rather than hot may help, and some people find sucking on mints relieves this annoying symptom to a degree. What has helped you cope with taste changes during chemotherapy?

Chemo Taste Change
- When I didn't have sores I would rub a lemon on tongue. It activates your taste buds. Really anything like a pickle slice or salad dressing with vinegar in it. Also when I had sores bananah popsickles are very soothing.
