When going through cancer treatment, it often affects the taste buds. And, you might find yourself preferring tart flavors. I have a chapter devoted to Nausea in Eating Well Through Cancer: Easy Recipes & Tips to Guide You Through Treatment and Cancer Prevention. With chemo and even some medications, you will probably experience some stomach issues. Lemon flavor can be soothing and even a quick sniff could help with nausea. Have lemon in water or sucking on sour lemon candies may help.
