Third day post chemo and terrible taste in my mouth. Any suggestions?

Thank you SO much. I was feeling guilty napping yesterday. I have the same anti nausea meds. Alternating today, but zofran not doing much. Trying ice, lemon ice and hard candy. Ick. I had oatmeal yesterday - and I did plan on baked potato, so thanks for that reassurance. Does it continue to get worse?

The prochlorperazine seems to work better for me also. Each treatment I have the two bad days, this last one I felt so frail and useless. I felt so miserable I was looking up assisted care facilities. I told my husband don’t let me make any decisions on those sick days. We live in our own home and he’s doing just fine picking up the domestic chores. Hope you are getting better.

I have my fourth standard treatment this week but was in a clinical trial this past winter. I really can’t say it felt worse each time. But I seem to have one miserable day, about day three or four. The metallic taste goes away each time also. I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer early last September. If you have any questions about my experiences feel free to ask.
