Wow Murphy you are a trooper ! Back to work tomorrow ? I was still under the table at 6 days post radiation. I do so know how yucky food and drink tasted besides not even wanting to eat. But it does come back, slowly, slowly. I am just beginning to taste foods and what a heavenly thing that is ! My sugar taste is not there yet. Funny, it was the first thing to go and seems to be the last thing to come back. Do please keep your calorie intake up . It is SO important for your health and healing. I got myself in big trouble with this and it sure is hard to fight the weight loss and feeling so crappy at the same time. You are doing amazingly great and worked your way through the really tough spots. Please know that for a little while you probably won't be able to use enough sugar to taste it without being on total sugar overload. It does get better ! Hang in there, you are doing great !
