How Can Cancer Patients Manage Changes in Taste and Smell?
Changes in taste and smell are common side effects of cancer treatments and can significantly affect food intake. Patients may experience a metallic taste, heightened sensitivity to certain flavors, or a complete loss of taste and smell. To manage these changes, patients can try experimenting with different flavors, herbs, and spices to enhance the taste of food. Eating small, frequent meals and maintaining good oral hygiene can also help improve the eating experience.
