A member asked:

How to ease the bitter taste that one experiences during chemo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Granny Smith apples: Some of my patients try taking a bite of a granny smith apple and this sometimes helps them. Hope this helps. Also eating with plastic utensils can help with the metallic taste.
