My friend, Val, will be starting 6 weeks of radiation for cancer of the tongue. He was told that there'd be no big problems, but that he'd lose his sense of tast for about a year. I'm concerned that he'll become disinterested in eating. Does anyone have any tips on what he might find tempting to eat or what I can do to help him in the weeks to come? Also, I'm a bit afraid to ask, is the loss of taste the only problem he'll have? Thank you for your info and good luck to you and your loved ones. Ellen
