Woo hoo! Nice to know you are on the post treatment side. About your taste...well who knows. I actually started tasting things about two weeks post treatment and my taste buds were coming back strong after about a month. Of course I still have no appetite and don't exactly enjoy food, however...I can taste everything perfectly and my last day of tx was oct 14. So, you never know, your taste buds might be back sooner than you think. Look forward to hearing more about your post treatment journey. Wishing you all the best!!
