Friends,
I had lots of regular radiation and lost my sense of taste, but now, 4 years out, I have regained most of it. Cokes still taste like syrup so I don't drink them anymore but I absolutely love the taste of milk shakes and sweet cream ice cream with oreos crushed in it and any good puddings or mousses. Also steaks, burgers, fries, seafood, pizzas, etc. taste as good as they did in the old days. The only thing that I avoid are spicy foods.

It can get better.
