Hi,I live in New Zealand and was

diagnosed with TNBC in Nov o9.I had a mastectomy, 4 positive lymph nodes and have just had my 3rd cycle of FEC.

something I find very distressing apart from all the other horrible side effects is that I have a disgusting taste in my mouth 24/7 and my sense of smell is so hightened I cant bear the smell of my wig, clothes, the furniture, pillows bedding etc etc!!..and its all clean as I have tried washing in nonperfumed wash powder but nothing makes a difference.

Also the foul taste in my mouth only goes away when I,m eating and then immediatly returns.I cant be eating all day!

Anyone else with this problem?
