Just found this posting and I'm really glad I did. I've been having a really hard time eating and tasting all savoury but sweet has been another story. This has put me in quite a tail spin as I would consider myself somewhat of a "foodie." I'm finally finishing up my last week of radiation with no chemo after a small break. So, my question is after reading a bit of this - do you think I'll have a better chance of recovering my tastebuds and sense of taste in general with not having to go through chemo?
