I'm coming up to six months post treatment and about 60% my taste is back. I can eat almost everything (with water to wash down) except for chilli and tomatoes still makes my mouth break out in sores. I cant taste sweet things yet but i eat a tonne of ice-cream - its like i'm remembering the taste when i eat it. My taste does seem to come and go, some days i can taste more and others not so much. Its a long journey my friend and i guess we just have to be patient. Good luck.
