I asked my patient education nurse practitioner recently if he could help me locate a nutritionist with the practice if I need one during or after the chemotherapy.

Would a nutritionist, if you can access one, be a good coach? You are going through such a tough time.

Do you mind telling me if your chemotherapy was cisplatin and pemetrexed by chance? I was told the metallic side effect would happen to me, too, and to use plastic wear to minimize it, but that is not too reassuring.

It is often written that these side effects are temporary— "usually," so that word is the concern.

Wishing you well and that you heal and find some answers.
