Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 46 | I'm halfway through 6 weeks of radio/chemo and food and drink to me tastes absolutely terrible.The metallic taste is overwhelming.I've fortunatley had a PEG fitted and am now completely reliant on this as all food makes me wretch.I still drink water to keep my swallowing in shape and have found that it's easier to take with a little lemon juice in each glass.I've also tried miracle fruit/berry tablets but found these only gave me a fairly temporary taste change.
