I had approx. 30 rads and 2 rounds of cisplatin and I can taste certain things better than others. I am only about 2 months or so out though but can taste mushrooms, oysters , pot pie, and coconut so far. But it seems that stuff like chocolate, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese taste like cardboard. I do as others have told me and just keep trying things til I find what works for me.
