Do you lose your sense of taste when having radiotherapy?

I am currently having radiotherapy for breast cancer do you lose your sense of taste 

  • Hi i had 28 days of radiotherapy in May and June 5 days a week for 6 weeks and although I did get  metallic taste in my mouth I didn't lose my sense of taste tastes re different  but I didn't lose it

  • Hello Sal_w,

                     it was either that or the person cooking the hospital food was manufacturing it all from wood pulp.Like Jet42 l had 6 weeks of five days a week,but mine came to 30 days so l reckon they were short changed  at 28 !

                                    Enjoy, David
