Hi All,
My Mom has lung cancer and was diagnosed on May 10, 08. The doctor gave her 3 months but she is doing ok.
My reason for writing is to inform others about this medication. I felt so bad when I finally realized that this medication was causing my mom a very bad taste for food. She hasn't been eating much of anything for a week or two.
The hospice nurse said that because the cancer spread to her liver that was what was causing the bad taste.
I stoped giving mom the medicine a couple of days ago and today she ate and said everything tasted good. I only wish I knew about the side effects earlier.
I hope this helps others. Gayle
