Hi!
Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and cancer itself can cause changes in sense of taste. Usually, for most of the patients these changes go away when the treatment is completed. Metal and bitter taste usually comes from meats.
You should eat more fruit and vegetable, and proteins also because good nutrition is important for the out coming results from the treatment.
All best to you!
