Hi Lou, Thanks so much for your response. I realized after I posted the topic that I was in the wrong forum. There was six months last year where the Tagrisso dose was doubled, six months ending in August. Back on single dose now. I suspect the double dose had something to do with this taste issue since I never had an issue with a single dose. Good to hear your taste did come back. Gives me hope that mine will return. When it does I plan on putting those pounds back on ASAP! Thanks for the link, I'll read it.

Hello, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer (NSCLC) in March of 2021. I've been on Tagrisso most of the time since, still am. Starting in August of 2022 my taste buds changed so that now everything I eat tastes terrible. Not just metallic or salty or sweet but truly awful. The only foods I can get down are Boost drinks/smoothies, cream soups that I just put in my mouth and swallow. Really, if i can just swallow it right away I can do it. The problem is I've lost a lot of weight, from 195 lbs in August to 163 lbs today. I'm weak and shaky. My taste buds have shown no signs of changing back to normal this whole time. Have any of you reading this experienced this? If so, were you able to overcome it? Any suggestions?
