Hi. I think that is normal. I experienced the same thing for 2-3 days after each cycle and then it went away. No help but I had a craving fir Taco Bell tacos the second day after every chemo. Was the only thing that tasted good. Probably not the most nutritious but it did the trick

When I had chemo 2 years ago, I had no problems with taste. But since I am going through chemo again now, I get bad changes in taste about 3 days after chemo. Most things taste like wet cardboard. It lasts for about 10 days, then gets better. Even my favorite food in the world, salmon sashimi (when I die, I want to come back as a grizzly bear so I can have all the raw salmon I can eat), tasted awful.
But I discovered that fried calamari and frozen battered fish sticks tasted OK. Also, dairy, like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. And one night I, too, had a craving for Taco Bell! And it wasn’t bad!🌮
