If you puke after you have an IV injection of a cancer chemotherapy drug, do you taste the drug in your mouth? I never tasted the drugs when puking. There was a bit of a taste that I had to mask while actually receiving the treatment (in particular, with adriamycin and Taxotere), so I just brought something, a candy, or a sandwich, or something. Yes...its possible...sorry I had a very metallic taste in my mouth after chemo whether I threw up or not. That hasn't happened to me but everyone is different so don't worry it could happen. I hope your doing OK! I just found out I had cancer in December and just got through with all the treatment's I will pray for you!!! It is quite possible you might have an aftertaste of some drugs in your mouth, because the circulation carries the drugs nearby. yes ,, i tasted something for days after chemo everytime.. Chemo caused me to have bizarre smells and tastes. Talk to your oncologist. Perhaps they can try a different anti-nausea medication. Hope you get some relief. Hang in there. You can get through this. Good luck! There are so many anti-nausea drugs now that are given for chemotherapy that there is no reason to throw up. If you are feeling ill, your oncologist needs to know and he will give you a med for it. Certain chemo's will give you an after taste in your mouth that tastes like metal. Sometimes sores even appear, but again, they can be controlled with meds if you tell your oncologist. Yes hun my mom tasted it in her mouth when she puked and if she coughed up phlem I am sorry I hope you feel better |
