    Besides the loss of taste, metal taste, blisters on tongue, shortness of breath, severe pain in the jaw, feels like giant severe toothache but is now moving up towards the sinus cavity.

    Taking for 11 months. Had spread to lymph nodes. Scans have shown shrinkage each time. No new spread of the cancer. Side effects minimal. Cold intolerance, watering eyes, some small tongue ulcers first few months, some weight gain, minimal diarrhea. Taste has mostly returned. Light rash on arms sometimes. Very pleased with results and minimal side effects.

    I am a caregiver and it was taken by my son. While it did extend his list - it was very painful for him.
