Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi Karri... It sounded to me like chemotherapy was the cause, so I researched chemotherapy and metallic taste on the web... Here is the site I went to: http://www.breastcancer.org/tre_sys_chemo_taste.html It seems like it is a side effect of the chemo, and will last as long as the chemo- and should hopefully stop when the chemo stops... There are some homeopathic remedies that mention metallic taste, you might want to investigate them. If you are interested, I will help you research them. You could also chomp down on parsley, or mint, or other better tasting substances to see if you can overpower the taste... But that is dependent on if it is truly the chemo that is causing confusion in the taste buds, and if it is, that may not work... Good luck, let us know how she does... Be Well, Misty L.
