Another chemo note: I had been warned going into this that food might acquire a metallic taste. But that didn't happen.
What did happen is that food started to have no taste at all. A lot of my meals taste like cardboard and cotton ball sandwiches with a side order of foam packing peanuts.
The things that seem most edible to me are fresh fruit, especially watermelon, plums and citrus; and, oddly enough, Wendy's chili.
A doctor friend says tastebuds have a high cellular turnover rate and thus are greatly affected by chemo.
