Dont worry too much about the taste disappearing. It is only temporary. I;m the world's biggest foodie and this really worried and upset me at the begining as well. But 4 months after treatment now and i have abot 65% of my taste back. In fact i went into the new year (i'm from australia so we've already had or new year) with 5 Baci chocs, half litre of ice-cream and 15 Oreo cookies (dunked in milk of course to soften them)!!! Those days of not tasting now seems long ago to me and it will be to you soon too!! Good luck with your treatment - i'm sure you will sail through them.
