I-Keep-Praying Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 My mother just finished her last WBR treatment today. For the past couple of days, she has been having a "medicinal" taste in her mouth. She is taking Decadron 2mg twice a day, and Tegretol for seizure precautions. We are assuming that the taste is a side effect from the radiation. Anyone know of this?

kamataca Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I've heard others say that using plastic spoons, forks, etc. helps with this. Hope you guys find something that works well! It's so important to keep the nutrition up. Good luck! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
