H is 17 treatments into RT, the doubles start Tuesday. Taste is not gone but nothing tastes right and nauseates him. Already on compazine and prevacid. Even the peg tube feedings are leaving him feeling overly full and uncomfortable. We've tried slowing the feeding, less food, about the only thing he's getting down is cream of wheat and tea. Anyone want to chime in on how the taste changes...from this nauseating thing to no taste at all or with suggestions of something that may remotely taste like it's supposed to at this stage? He can still swallow soft stuff - at least as of today. Thanks - Cheryl
