I finished my radiation and chemo treatments for tonsil cancer last September and I am doing really well except I can't taste anything. I always thought that the taste buds would come back but I went to my ENT doctor today for a check up and he said he couldn't tell me when or if I'd get my taste back. He said most people at the point I'm at have their taste back and it's a possibility that it won't come back. I'm wondering how long it took others who have had radiation to get their taste back.
