What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth After Chemotherapy?

Hello, I just had chemotherapy on Monday and yesterday I started having this metallic taste in mouth. Is there any way to diminish that taste, so I can enjoy eating again. Thank you. My age is 40, height is 5'6 and besides having breast cancer my medical history is clear.
