A matter of taste

Hello


 


I have been on  Prostap injections since February and had radiotherapy in the early summer.


For some months now I have been experiencing a loss of taste of food and this has been getting steadily worse. Has anyone else on Prostap encountered this problem and, if so, did it resolve itself?


 


Thanks

Hey Mikey

I have been on prostap since April 2023 and completed Radiotherapy in January 2024.

I too have been experiencing both loss of taste and strange variations to tatse (eg had a creme brulee that tasted of smoked mackerel (only me - partner thought it was fine)). These taste episodes are becoming more frequest but are intermittent and don't seem to be getting worse. I finish prostap in February 2025, so can up-date then whether or not taste returns to normal.

I had thought this was just me, as I had not heard anyone else mention it, and maybe it was related to something else, a covid hangover maybe. Be interesting to see if others have their taste disrupted while on prostap.
