I had two cases of some puky stuff the home health care folks brought by and after staring at it in disgust, I offered it back as a contribution. Months later, I seem to not mind the taste and am buying the Boost High Protein. Ironic or what?
I remember things drastically improving from about where you are at. The metallic taste gradually went away and sometimes came back with red meat. The oncologist nurse suggested squeezing some lime juice on the meat and it worked. Good luck, you are on the road to recovery!
