Taste buds can take awhile to get back to normal, but don't give up hope. Since I had conventional radiation (rather than IMRT), it took me quite some time, but I got back to the point of enjoying Mexican food and certain kinds of spicy Asian foods again. Also, the taste for sweets definitely came back -- I have to ration my desserts to keep from putting on weight.
