Keeping My Lemon Drops

Whenever the port gets flushed with saline, I can smell and taste the echoes of it. This is apparently common, and the nurse tells me that some people like to suck on lemon drops to  avoid the metallic unpleasantness. I thought about this, but I am pretty fond of lemon drops. My grandmother used to keep a bag of wonderful ones in her house, where you could suck out a little bit of white, sour lemon powder out of the center before enjoying the rest of it. (Russell Stover candies, maybe?) I've always liked sour and tangy foods. I'd hate to give them that bad association of "Here we are, about to start chemo" and lose them forever. No lemon drops for me.
