I had a skin graft to rebuild the excised tumor (back bottom left side of tongue that recurred after radiation and surgery) and so I have part of my forearm as the graft. While I have no taste buds this all occurred in August and I am getting some pretty good sensation out of the graft site now, enough to where I have a wide variety of things I can eat, so I know my situation is different but hopefully you regain that feeling soon. Best wishes,
Lisa
