George, I lost a lot of taste too during and after TX. Nothing tasted good (not that I could eat much, of course...) and even water had a nasty metallic flavor. The quality came back but the quantity is still lacking for me, but that's due to my continued half-tongue numbness from surgery. I've found that sweet things have tasted the best to me and have been easiest to eat, but that may be due to the radiation-induced acid reflux.

I have a friend, non-cancer patient, who suddenly lost his sense of smell a few years ago. Apparently the doctors have no explanation and no one has been able to help him regain it, nor has it come back on its own. Very strange.

Keep us posted, ok?
