Carboplatin -Rough Side Effects?

[Lida]

Hi her2 friends,
Thanks for your messages regarding Carboplatin. I have had many chemos, but do not remember having loss of appetite or bad tastes. Sounds rough because we need good nutrition as our bodies fight cancer and are given these tough meds! For those of you who had loss of appetite and metallic taste, how long did that last? What did you do to motivate yourself to eat and help with the bad taste? I really appreciate your advice and help. Lida
