Suggest Remedy For Bitter Taste And Dark Patches On Tongue While On Chemo
Hello Doctor I am on chemotherapy for stage 1b breast cancer. My treatment regimen includes Docetaxol, Cyclophophamide and Herceptin. I am having dark patches on surface of my tongue and on sides. It is scattered. I feel bitter taste in my tongue . What is the remedy for this? Nothing taste good. I finished second chemo and two more to go once in three weeks cycle. Then I have to go for 21 cycles of radiation. Will this continue even during radiation. Thanks Padma

The problems that you are facing are the side effects of this chemotherapy and will go after the chemo is topped. During chemotherapy you can a multivitamin supplement and maintain a healthy nutritious diet in order to ameliorate these symptoms somewhat. Radiotherapy will not lead to any such symptoms as it only lead to problems localized to the chest wall.
