Karen,
Thanks for replying. About food and taste, everything tastes AWFUL and it's hard to keep eating. About a year out from the end of the first round I suddenly realized that I could tell I was eating carrots; they tasted like carrots and I thought some taste would come back but it never did. The second round of treatment wiped out the carrots and made everything taste even worse. Maybe that will modify as time goes by.
Good luck to you and your love with getting through the treatment; it will get better slowly with time, I hope.
Pat
