Margaret, I also had that bad metallic taste from the cisplatinum and I found that things that were kind of salty cut through it the best. My husband made some very salty mac and cheese that I could have--though I couldn't really taste the cheese--and then I got by also on this portobello mushroom soup--the organic kind that comes in a box-- with dollops of yogurt. In fact, for some reason I could tolerate that soup far into my treatment when everything else either hurt or made me sick. Now I absolutely cannot go near it! And that is one warning you might want to take to heart is that if you have any nausea at all you will probably create taste aversions for yourself so it might be best to NOT try to eat the stuff you really love since if it tastes bad and you are nauseated after you will probably not want to go near it after treatment is over. Same goes for using a cologne you like to cut through the metallic/chemical smell (which I also did). For the rest of your life, that smell will remind you of chemo nausea. So if you go that route choose carefully.
