Hey gang - Dan has had 8 of his 35 treatments and the sore throat that I mentioned in another post is still there in full force and now he is starting to have issues with his taste buds. He said things just taste real bland. He's eaten dill pickles and poured on salt just to be able to taste something. He came home tonight with Spicy V-8. I wasn't expecting any of this to happen so soon for him. And now I wonder will he just lose taste alltogether and not go through the burning of tomato products and salt??? I know the answer is probably this is variable and everyone is different wink and I understand that. Still feels good to ask and see what other experiences were laugh

Thanks!
