Hi Anne!
So sorry to hear you are going through this treatment. I'm so happy to hear that they could your tumor early. The loss of taste will only be temporary. I could tolerate fruit but favored berries like blueberries and blackberries and raspberries also banana felt great too. Many of us have trouble with spicey foods long term. I also have a hard time with over carbonated beverages-- but after a few sips I ususally numb to it.

It won't be so bad. Hang in there. I have no tongue at all (5% or something) and I can still taste fairy well-- 85% Tastebuds aren't just on your tongue but all over the oral cavity..Thank goodness!! You are going to recover and be back to your old self before you know it.
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery from this tough treatment.

XO Kate
